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

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

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.

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

Fixed!

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

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.

That black coupe is class on wheels.

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

302 swap, easy fix.

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"

More of black jag

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.

+1 one on adding a SBC. There was one FS here a while back for $800 with a SBC....I passed because it was in redneck territory and it was $800.

Friend of mine has a 77-ish XJS with a built built built BBC and Lister body kit. It's ridiculous.

Fantastic looking cars, but they're reliability....well....yeah, they'll drive you mad.
