The gear change was very smooth, both when the garage owner and myself were at the helm. Thanks for the tip. |

This is the S Type I had, it was an S Type XS with the full Jaguar Body kit and 18" Alloys and was around 204 bhp, which was great https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...d.php?t=117430 Stu |

Well I have now had the Jag for 5 days and covered about 300 miles, half motorway half back roads. Thoughts so far, its more of a barge than a 75 but handles well and is very quiet. The economy figure as displayed not brim to brim yet are reassuring, 47 mpg and climbing at a stable 70 mph when on the motorway and hovering around 40 mpg on my back roads run to and from work. I have to say I have not got the same happiness level I found when driving my many varied 75/ZT models but early days still. The most important drive is coming this Friday, the grind of Newbury to Shap where I hope to find the happiness I am looking for. I will post next week after the North and South runs.

The 2.7 Diesel engine is a very good unit, can see 300bhp with decats, exhaust and the usual stuff.. Which is insane power, the torque figure is mental! Nice cars, inside are very nice for the age... but im not a huge fan on the outer looks.

This was one of the dealers images, I agree the car can look awkward and handsome dependant on where you look from. This one I like.
