    I have the X350 XJR which has the classic look but the body is 100% Aluminium. These are great cars and the styling looks great and much better than most cars of a similar era. There are a ton of Jaguar experts and access to new and old parts. This would make a great project for someone.

      Absolutely agree. The jag is is a beautiful design.
      The audi is just bland and if was debadged you could confuse it with any number of car manufacturers. They all look the same.
      No mistaking the sensuous, graceful lines of the jag though.

    To be fair, that was the last year of that shape of x300/x308. Much classier than the bland Audi and aside from rust, that late x308 had the later timing chains etc, steel lined engine and a few more standard toys like cruise control over the earlier ones.

    After seeing this Y registered Silver Jaguar in another garage that was amazing condition..£11.995 Was there price..
    When I first saw it and saw £800 I was frustrated the paintwork would actually put me off..
    I had my very own Jaguar Executive 3.2 in a lighter blue i gave just £1100 I loved the car.
    Now the problem We all have now a days is Older against newer.. 2000 -2002 are real nice with a few modern features screen with sat nav..
    But then You have 2003 -2008 all Aluminium cars and you can buy real nice examples for £3000 or less depending on mileage..
    One of each once I get my ideal place to live..
    But I do struggle between the newer car because of spec levels and styling..
    And coming from Coventry the older would suit me fine..
    Great video..

    The Jaguar xj8 is in my opinion the best car ever made and it will always stand the test of time the most beautiful style ever and the best looking car ever please don't knock it
    I own a Jaguar xj8 and I am so much in love with it I talk to it every day and it's never let me down
    It's a 2001 model Xj8 Executive
    I brought it with 35000 miles on the clock costing £8000 it has now done 66000 miles and to me it's worth more now than what I paid for it
    And as it's a cat it purresl like a cat in tick over and drives like a lion when you need speed
    I will say again the best car ever made

    That car is actually lovely inside.. it's definitely older looking on the outside, the inside looks more like it's age. Nice thing 👍 also fairly small for a V8, I have a 4.4L V8 powered car and even that I see as sort of the minimum (4.0/4.2/4.4) you'd usually expect for a V8 since there's 5L/6L engines out there, a 3.2 seems really small :')

    • @byronmills5952

      Quite the opposite - These jags are mechanically far stronger.than anything Vag at higher miles - it's the body rot that lets them down.

    At 16 ft 3 inches long it's still pretty long even compared to many large modern cars, the last Mondeo a properly big car is still shorter at 15 ft 10 long.What makes an old XJ8 easy to place in traffic is being quite slim at just 5 ft 10 wide!

  • @JonDingle
    @JonDingle 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I have a very similar Jaguar XJ 3.2 V8 that I bought for £500 with no MOT. It's a project like any old Jaguar. People knock Jaguar's, however, how many people own and keep old Jag's compared to foreign brands? Probably a lot more than you think. Also, people knock Land Rover's, but most Land Rover's are still on the road compared to their competition.
    As for rust on Jaguar's, my 2001 XJ V8 is only rust in the wheel arches. The jacking and suspension points are still sound. I have repaired many Toyota, Ford, Citroen and other brands much younger than my Jag. I would also ask, when was the last time you saw a 20+year old other brand car on the road? The headliner, they were made by Lear Corporation in the midlands, not by Jaguar and a such Jaguar were let down by their supplier. Its a relatively easy swap and will make a huge difference.

    Jaguar for £800! Although they're may be someone who may like to take this on as a project, I would expect the corrosion you can't see to be serious as well as what you can! It will make a great car for harvesting parts from, The engine and gearbox alone must be worth the value of the car 👍

  • @scotty6346
    @scotty6346 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The Jag looks so much better IMO, It oozes class! This one is rusty so really only fit for the banger racing circuit unless you want to waste £££ sorting it out , If you want to pump £££ into a Jag XJ get an XJR!

  • @smoothmicra
    @smoothmicra ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Lovely colour, shame it hasn't had enough TLC to keep the rust at bay. The headliner is a terrible bodge, that will need replacing as well as the rusty arches. Nice project for someone but I am not a welder so good luck but I'll pass.

    Hey @shifting metal! Great video, thanks for sharing.
    I've literally just bought myself a very similar X308 XJ Executive 3.2 V8. However, bodywise, mine is thankfully much less rotten having been waxoiled underneath and retreated more recently.
    What happened to EO52AOP? It's disappeared off the .gov database so I assume it's either been scrapped or is wearing a private plate. Given this was only 6 months ago, I can only assume the worst sadly.
    In terms of the Audi vs Jag. I'd pick the Jag as it's the kind of car that even if you knew nothing about cars, you'd know that's a Jag. However, the Audi certainly has a lot going for it if you wanted to portray an image of success with a coat of modernity, even now it looks modern, but the classical lines of the Jag, for me just steal the heart for me.
