I thought it an XJS but no. It may have been an XJ6. Prestige car with a "walnut" dash. I really liked it. Why cant we see a return to wooden dashboards in Jaguars?
Show some real class in these cars.
Jaguar, it used to mean something, now I feel it is just a name.
By all means have your sporty model but also have the posh model

times move on. when i was a kid in the 70's / 80's i loved the wood and leather in the jags and rovers and the more dials on the dashboard and rocker switches the better. todays generation of buyer think it looks dated and want shiny black perspex trim and carbon.
the latest XJ's are as near to the old models as we can hope for unfortunately. the old models weren't appealing to the younger generation so they had to move with the times or fall by the wayside.
