I Still Drive the XJ8 X308 1998. Such an elegant car .. absolutely best jaguar ever made.

Love my 2001 XJ8. I get compliments from strangers every time I take her out. Such a remarkable car. It’s a joy to drive and admire its beauty after a nice wash and wax. Too bad Jaguar can’t bring back this iconic look.

Instant classic when first released. Greetings from a German Jaaag addict.

Last month I drove my all black XJR X308 in Hamburg red light district Reeperbahn an the tourists looked at me like some local gangster - great fun 😄

Great video. It is a shame that they used the silly plastic tensioners on that otherwise brilliant V8. Once they went back to iron cylinder liners and installed steel tensioners in all cars (2002 model year), they had a legendary - and reliable - car.

Dad had original V8 then Straight 6 short wheel base, finally V8 last of all British( b4 Ford) ..Good luck to Jaguar..

Love my XJ!

I love my 1999 Vanden plas black silver flakes peanut butter guts I've had her for 23 years 120;000 miles on her I'll never get rid of her

I did have to laugh that they go through great pains to point out about this being an all new car from the old 6-cylinder X300 models, then half of the external shots in the video are of the earlier cars!

I bought the Mrs a earlier 93 4 liter 6 pot engine in 2005 for £800 a proper sports car underneath handling was great for a big car , the Mrs ran it for a year ,did moan about MPG but I pointed out the if she gave up smoking and used it less for small trip it would help which she eventually did but then was off sick from work for about 4 weeks the jag sat and these BIG cats don't like sitting all the problems started electrical, rough running, battery drain, so we sold it on .We do still mis the jag a relaxed motorway cruiser and back a road bully boy up for a get away car

Well, now I just feel bad that my '99 XJR has been waiting in my shop for me to replace the rear wheel bearings and the coolant line between the colant reservoir and the expansion tank for as long as it has. I miss the sound of its muted supercharger whining softly while the traffic behind me shrinks in the rearview mirror.

amazing

XJs are should be like this. The newer ones are too dull fastback looking. I prefer this and the X350 ones.

Song?

Must be a very old video...

Great cars but most of them rotten why oh why didn’t they use better rust prevention my 2001 Alfa gtv V6 is rust free !!🤷‍♂️

Jags as you can see were great cars. The new xj x5351 doesn't deserve the jaguar name. Design is awful, dashboard ruined. Come on jaguar if mercedes, audio can make good looking cars. Why can't you?
