I had a converted car - 300 hp small block chevy in a 1976 XJ6-L. Wonderful motorcar. Not quick and agile like a 911, quite different than that. Not light thru corners but surefooted with good balance through big sweeping corners. More like the way a large man is sometimes an elegant dancer but will never be a gymnast.

Without a doubt, the finest long distance road car I have ever owned. That car made the highway disappear in steadfast silence. No wind noise, no road noise, impeccable manners. Really miss that car (it was liberated from our driveway....).

The newer Jags have quite a parts pin of Ford parts. That doesn't scare me but at the same time, I have no interest in paying jaguar service costs for a mustang/pickup/lincoln engine. Would I buy one? Yep. They are an absolute used car bargain. Count on bad resale when you factor in your purchase price. Drive it everywhere in the meantime.

My 2 centavos.
