    Swapping the Jaguar for a L322?

    It's indeed different to the Jag, but after a 2x 5hrs drive to Wales and a few more 1-2 hour trips, we still think it's quite comfortable. Mind you: the other rides are a tuned 5.0L TVR Chimaera (loud, warm) and a 1961 Triumph Herald so it is really not that bad when you keep the Landy to 60mph...

    Swapping the Jaguar for a L322?

    Hi guys. Just to keep you updated on my search, I've diverged from the RR route as frankly, the car I'd ideally want would most probably be off budget when including catch-up maintenance and setting aside money for common issues.

    Swapping the Jaguar for a L322?

    Hi guys, After driving around very happily with a Jag XJ8 4.0 for the last two years, I've put the car up for sale to move to large SUV. Key reasons for doing so: - My girlfriend and I spend a lot of free time in the countryside (riding/shooting/walking/swimming/holidays), so it would be...
