What were you driving when your car was built?

Land Rover 90, TD5. Fine tool but never had the inclination to take any photographs.

A Jaaaag! all aluminium with a 4.2 V8, I'd just got it, fantastic to drive. Bit like the Z4 kept in the garage and hardly used, still whizzing around saw it up for sale recently.

Lovely car. I had a 1997 XJ6 (X300) Sovereign.
I'd still love to own a Series III Daimler Double Six, but I just don't have room, and there may not be enough petrol left in the world for it.

From 2025 Jaguar will only be building electric cars, tempted to get a 5.0 XKR for a final kick at the ball before all the lights go dim for petrol engines :(. Use to go to the Scottish Jag show and thats where I sold it to a retired doctor.

Late 2003 - late 2006 I had a Volvo V70 D5, I spec’d it new with 18” bbs Nebulas which looked fantastic but rubbed from day one at about 75% lock, when I complained, the dealership said it was a characteristic of 18” wheels on that car…… after 3 months of argument they allowed me to choose some 17” wheels as a gesture of good will, unbelievable. Those wheels went on to corrode within 3 months, painful.
It was a fantastic thing though despite “Wheelgate”

Damn forgot to say that just looking at my sig was cheating!

No cheating here! Having now looked at your signature, I see the Jensen and several MGAs listed, but not the Lamborghini. Is that not what it is?
 
That is exactly what it is. Getting it without it being listed counts qualifies you for car geekness medal status! :D

Haha! Excellent, I’ll wear it everyday! :D
 
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:

I also had my paws on this for a short time, same model as the Queen had Daimler Super V8 LWB 4 seaterdaimler.jpg
 
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/jaguar-mk-10-3-8-litre-sir-william-lyons-rhd-for-sale/
