thoughts on 80's Jags.... I'm not kidding.

[defaultName]

I will own an old Jaguar someday, but I've heard horror stories about their reliability so I plan on waiting until I have more garage space before I buy one.

That black Jag in the first picture is teh shex tho.

Please, please don't do this to yourself. One of the guys who does our tire work here is a longtime Jaguar expert and he likes literally nothing about these cars. Doesn't like the performance, doesn't like ANYTHING about working on them, doesn't like the price and availability of parts, doesn't like how often they need parts, doesn't like the rust issues...there is no upside except driving a Jaaaaaaaag.

hhahaa *Clarkson voice* "honey lets take the Jaaaaaaaaaag"

302 swap, easy fix.

There's a reason why you never see an 80's 90's jag on the road.

Almost all of them have been crushed.

I've drove a few when I was a valet in college - not a fan.

Would make for a good hipster car though - if your into that kind of thing.

dude i see like 3-4 every day, they always ether seem to look brand new , or they look beat to shit and have obvious fuel leaking issues

That black coupe is class on wheels.

Buddy of mine, and previous owner of my e30, works for a Jag/LR shop in ATL. I don't think I have ever heard more horror stories from any particular make of car as he recounts.

Looks aren't everything, folks. Get an E9 and call it a day.

[Herr Faust Schinken]

e9s are better looking in my mind, just it seems like parts of e9s are harder to come by then jags

[slammin.e28]

Looks are everything, folks. Get an E-Type and call it a day.

Fixed!

Years ago a guy pulled into my driveway to do a U turn in a beautiful early one like this...



..burble, burble, rumble rumble.....

I said, "That's no Jag."

He smiled sheepishly and just said "Ford."

I smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

[willworkfore30s]

Just save up your quid and get an e-type. The only jaaaaag you will ever need

[frankenbeemer]

Oh waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles, that black coupe looks so good, I can see why someone would buy one even knowing it's going to be a time and money pit. It's a succubus.

[Brezzi]

I think henceforth Jags should be known as Succubus' its so fitting.

[Brezzi]

since starting this thread all I can think about is slamming one on air and wire wheels... and I'm not even that much of a stance kid
