You're looking at it the wrong way round Matt. For less than £5000, you now have a gorgeous X-Type in a lovely colour combo, with fully sorted mechanicals. You also have full jaguar service history, and a modern classic that will climb in value over time. It's a bit like a fine wine. You might have to lay it down for a while, but it will travel really nicely. It was a good decision in my book. Well worth saving.

@damilolaakanni 7 ай бұрын

Unpopular opinion (probably), but I think the X-Type is better looking than the S-Type, with its large oval shaped grille that looks out of place on that front end. I get that Jaguar was trying to modernise their old-school design, or keep up with the retro trend of the late 90's and early 2000's, but they messed it up on the S-Type.

Disagree, the S-type looks better

@cosmic-tiger 4 ай бұрын

Totally agree. The x type looks like a modern classic that’s aged really well. The S type is a car that looks like it’s been designed by committee, half of whom are stuck in the past (the grille) & the other half that wanted to compete with the German executive cars of the day. Some heritage grilles transitioned well like BMW’s & Alfa Romeo’s, Jag’s really didn’t.

I owned three X Types all bought new over an eight year period of my life. Lovely cars with a classy interior especially the SE and Sovereign models. Unfortunately this model was incredibly rust prone particularly in the sills and because of the plastic sill covers very poor examples can still look cosmetically good. Numbers on the road are rapidly diminishing as they fail their MOT over structural issues. Glad you saved it, another owner would have run it into the ground and then scrapped it which would have been a travesty.

Hi Matt, I had the first sovereign estate delivered out Jaguar Cardiff in 2004, I’ve always regretted selling it, very similar to this except the exterior was Silver, but the interior was identical, I went a bit mad on the spec and added nearly £12k’s worth of extras, I know people knock them but I did 65k in it in 20 months and it never let me down and I always felt special every time I drove it, since then, I’ve had XF’s and an F-Type, but I have a real soft spot for it as it was my first Jag. If I had the space I would bite your hand off, but I’m looking for a CLK convertible, another car we wish we didn’t sell. You have done an amazing job, someone will snap it up I’m sure. It’s definitely a car worth saving.. thank you, as you created one of nicest x-types still on the road. Let me know if come across a CLK though … lol

My first Jag was a 2004 3 litre V6 AWD manual X-Type saloon. Loved that car but the DMF disintegrated one day. Replaced under warranty, thankfully. After that I had it for a couple of years hassle free driving. I traded it in at 90k miles against a Jaguar S-Type, which was a definite step up in luxury. Don't be put off by a poor experience with an older Jaguar at the bottom budget. I am currently on Jaguar number 6 (a 2016 XF S V6 Supercharged in BRG) and loving it.

I owned the same spec estate but made a mistake with the engine size. It was the 2.5 which drank the same as the 3.0 but was down on tourqe and it always felt lacking in power. It rattled and creaked from day one and i spent many days curing them. The later facelifted samples were far better, but petrol versions are almost impossible to find. The X-Type was criticised for offering a taste of Jaguar but was spoiled by too many ford parts, this i think was cruel but fairly accurate. I sold mine at a massive loss, the lemon car stigma had hit values hard and no one wanted them. Good luck with selling this one.

I am a Jaguar XJ man ( on my 5th) but I have a secret admiration for the x-type estate. I just think it looks good. My Jaguar Specialist has provided me with various loan cars over the years of all Jaguar types. Driven several x-types, both diesel & petrol. I quite like the 2.2 diesel engined versions. Yesterday had my 2002 X308 4 Litre LWB Sovereign in for an oil change and f/r brake pads. Loaned a 2006 X-type 2.5 litre petrol estate. Not bad. Observations-crisp throttle, changes through autobox constantly at urban speeds. Narrow front seats. Timber trim looks plastic. Very stable cornering (car on Bridgestones plus 4 wheel drive). Similar performance to MG ZT 190s that I had some years ago. Engine bay seems tight compared to XJ. After 70 miles in x-type yesterday I was not particularly relaxed. Petrol consumption a bit juicy for a 2.5 litre! Have seen underside of many x-types on a 4-post lift in Jaguar Specialist workshop and in common with many s-type cars they often have horrendous rust! I'll stick with my 2002 XJ as long as possible. The X308 is the last of the sleek low Jaguar saloons. From 2002 to 2009 the XJ was "jacked-up" and became more complex. A friend has a 2006 Daimler Super V8 which is a rare car. Endless suspension and electrical issues. Then replaced by the XJ "hatchback" which is technically brilliant but does not look like a Jaguar. The Jaguar Specialist had an XJL autobiography model in yesterday and a very frustrated mechanic undertaking a "string of jobs" and a big bill for the customer! If I did choose an X-type Sovereign estate then it would be a 2.2 diesel (economy) or the 3 litre. If you are purchasing take a good look underneath the vehicle!!

When I lived in Bradford a family friend brought me to watch Bradford Park Avenue at the age of eleven. I was hooked, Jimmy Scoular and Kevin Hector! But when they were voted out of Division Four I was devastated and obviously couldn’t support Bradford City!! So I went on the train to Leeds and started to support Leeds in the old division Two and to the best of my memory the attendance was around 12-13 thousand then. Since then I have been back in Ireland for years and am back now and a season ticket holder in the East Stand. The West stand obviously needs rebuilding but I hope we retain the cosy atmosphere. MOT!

I think that's a £5K bargain. Maybe not good for your wallet but you've done a service to humanity!

Love love love it! I had a 3.0 V6 sport AWD saloon in black. What a car and what a drive! Great engine,went round corners like it was on rails just a lovely drive. Mine had issues too the (sealed for life!) transfer box let go on the M1 😢 not great 😂 but other than the fact that she got through quite a few low profile tyres it was a good experience. I’m like you I’m a sucker for a Jaguar 🙄😀

I've got the 2.1 v6 x-type and absolutely love it, prone to rust but great to drive

Matt, you started this project as a car for you. In all honesty if I had been in your shoes I would have done the same. Time went on and you released that it was going to one that you would not make much use of, it’s excellent work the car is now almost as it left a dealers 17 years ago. It’s a lovely car and one that makes a modern practical classic that will go on for year. I’m sure it will appeal to plenty of enthusiasts out there and feather in your cap for saving it. There will be a very happy new owner of that I have no doubt. Brilliant work and love your videos

Thanks for a great video, I'm in the process of buying a 2004 2.5 V6 estate here in Finland. At least now I know what to look for.

Great vid. Like your passion for it, and the sport ones don't look bad. But surely this is the motoring equivalent of a pair of elasticated brown cords. Possibly a crotchless pair as it has that V6 but still a pair of cords.
