I'd have what I think is a bloody big Jag (IX?) at the back ... to the left of the yellow thing  ;)   :y

Not that I've seen the episode yet, but IIRC it was an XK150  :y

I reckon my favourite jag would have to be the 3.8 Mk2. i believe theirs a firm in south Africa that retro fits modern Jag running gear engines etc in to the Mk2's body . seams a bit of a sacrilege to me, but if you have the cash why not have the style of the Mk 2 with the reliability of the modern jaguar

I loved the XK140 - in fact I went to see one a few years ago (when I had money) with a view to buying it.

After 25 years of drooling guess what?

I COULDN'T FIT IN IT because I am such a fat barsteward! :-[ :-[

I am now trying to persuade myself that really I wanted a JCB digger all the time! :o :o
