Back in 2010 or therabouts I'd just bought this 330ci, I owned it for quite some time and probably one of the only cars I've regretted selling.

Sapphire Black with Grey leather, cabin was nice and bright and was a gem to drive, much quicker through the twisties that the Audi A5 quattro I replaced it with. :driving:

My Jag saloon days predated the XJ body by some years. I owned and still love this (Grace, Space, Pace indeed!):

Beautiful! My favourite was the MK10, I saw a couple of years ago that Sir William Lyons MK10 company car was up for sale, fully restored... if I only had the money! https://ddclassics.com/car-listing/jagu ... -for-sale/

Likewise, when my current 2007 3.0si was being built I was driving a 2004 3.0i. It feels like a nice symmetry.

That doesn't look like it's on standard suspension (or wheels) - as they tended to look like tractors on original springs :P

The mechanical grip and control is amazing. With no TC or Stability getting it out of shape (LOOS not withstanding) was so hard. Talent would expire before the car's capabilities. I do regret selling it sometimes.

You're right - it was on KW V1's :) I think most owners ditched the hi-lux look :lol:
