@@stevec6427 You're wrong. The "leaper" on the front would've had to go for safety reasons sooner or later for pedestrian safety, but the shape isn't any less compliant with passenger regulations than any other comparable cars. Bentley build similar shapes to this day, so do Rolls Royce, and neither of them have any problems complying with regulations. It's just that very few people have the taste and style to appreciate these (and some of those who would are put off as they imagine them being much more expensive than they actually are, and thus the thought of being able to afford one doesn't even cross their mind). People seem to prefer to buy the new models, which look just like every other car on the road.

Bill is hilarious.

'He has ten feet to travel so he hits the gas of course' - Yeah these dopes are every where, accelerating past me down hill to get to the red light. Then sleeping when it turns green. That is a nice Jag! Pronounced Jag-you-are, or in American, Jagwar

A few yrs back I was out on my bike on a lonely stretch. A guy in one of these pulled over and asked me for directions. After I gave him help, I said, "I've always admired the style of these cars - How do you like owning it?" He got this warm look on his face as he smiled and Said; "I love it." End of story.

Wonderful timeless lines, really impressive and everlasting. Really the last true Jaguar. Great overview as usual. Thanks for showing and Greetings from Austria. Take care 👋🇦🇹👍

Thank you Bill for the video and the information. I bought a Jaguar XJR because of you and I'm in love with it 😊

Great review on a phenomenal classic and funny digs on his knuckle headed staff.

Love this style Jag!! Memories....

My favourite Jag saloon is the 1995-1997 Jaguar X300 - inline six. I have several, including the 4.0 litre manual and the 4.0 supercharged XJ-R auto - they have a 'film star' quality that the German saloons simply lack. You get Mercedes taxis in Europe, but not Jaguar ones! Its DNA stretches back to the original XJ6 of 1968, but it's modern and reliable to drive, and very much a classic Jaaag. Thanks Bill, love your reviews. All the best from (an unusually sunny) England!

Thank, you for you're video and you're time spent.

bro, the first Jaguar built by Ford was the S-Type.

“Lighter than Karen Carpenter...” Gigglesnort! A wonderfully grumpy video, I laughed out loud. Thanks!

An excellent review, thank you. M.

Bill your the last of the real sales men

My great grandparents used to live in Beverly Hills, back in the 60s and 70s and 80s and they always always drove elegant Jaguars and nothing else. They were frequently in the shop and so my grandparents just stick with Lexus now. They wanted something elegant and respectable but super reliable.

That is a great looking Jag definitely. But I have to say that I do miss the leaping Jaguar hood ornament and the gas caps on the edge of the trunk that the older XJs had.

Another Great review. Thanks!

I had a 1970 Series 1 XJ6 and, I suppose, as Bill mentions, it's really close to the original design intent. This is, indeed, a lovely car. :) And, if you will, these are the best car reviews ever! Lovely, even.

7:52 So THAT’S what Bill looks like...

Hilarious review. I agree with another poster, bill needs his own show

Today's weather report brought to you by Bill... Oh yeah and a car review too :)

Excellent. Very amusing and a lovely car.

I know this video is 3 years old but I love your humor and description about the car and gun references about the storage compartments. Are you still making the videos? I’m getting a low cost Jaguar car soon because I love them and the looks !👀

Beautiful car and great commentary

I love this guys commentary

Bill is a very intelligent man. He truly is extraordinary when he discusses vehicles. The large manufacturing companies should hire him as a top of the line representative of the company. Bill represents Vehicles extremely well. His knowledge of vehicles are well above and beyond your average person. He truly is the creme Dela creme, for the explanation of these vehicles.

Superb review and witty insight.

Great video. A proper car

Honestly this was one of my favorite and last Jags that I liked. Jaguars status isn't like it used to be like when I was growing up as a kid in the late 80s and early 90s. Most people I know if will get one of the newer ones keep them a little while and trade them in for something else. This particular one I'd keep in the garage and drive it on the weekends

Possibly the most beautiful car i've ever seen.

Fun to watch this😎 I have a 2004 Vanden Plas. I have the gut-ripping "leaper" on my hood. Classic styling and a little more chrome. I love the seats and the power under the hood😉. Navigation, 6-cd changer and a single cd up front. DVD in the headrests with controls for the stereo in the back console as well. Floats down the road, but I love to floor it just to feel "Kitty" run!!

This was like Joey B Toonz reviewing one of my favourite cars! Excellent.

Excellent video excelent information most beautiful car 👍👍

My dad has a 1978 series 2 Daimler sovereign, just an amazing car!! He's been looking for a newer jag but he's really disappointed with what they've turned into! My friend has a 2013 fake jag and yes its comfortable and a lovely drive but it ain't a jag 😂

Bill...Perfect!..I have a 2007 XK convertible(40k) and feel the same way about what you said. I went to the website and the car is not listed. Any help?

Loved comparing this Jag to my type 3 4.0 very nice

Looks very much like my British racing green 2004 XJ8 with 56k miles it. It has a lot of burled walnut wood trim with an interior exactly like this one, except with built in gps and no heated seats...My husband clayed the exterior and the paint job looks amazing for a 16 y.o. car....Got the leaper on the hood though!

I grew up knowing of Jaguars having 12 cylinders with the Jag on the hood jumping out. I miss that. Jaguar also had that beautiful 2 door sports car I use to love. You’re right cars I like are diminishing for me as well.

I hav the jaguar XJ8 super v8 edition. $100,000 new. It was from palm beach Jaguar. I’ve had it for yrs..it’s still my favorite car..love it!

I have an 08 xj in midnight blue with factory 20'' chrome wheels. Absolutely love the car. My first car was a 1983 Camaro that is the same color as the one that keeps showing up in background. lol

That really is the last real XJ! I have one too and I hope to get it on the road soon!

I’ve never seen the long wheelbase version of this car. It’s pretty well executed, and I love a big backseat and a proper big back door. 🤭

Please DONT STOP making videos- I don’t have cable and you are top entertainment. 👍🏼 also nice car to drive to your mechanics as that will be your top destination 😂😂

I have a 2005 XJ8 and I love it. The air suspension light comes on but who cares. It’s just fun to drive, it has a stance and a feel that I haven’t experienced before. Best car I’ve ever owned and it only cost me 8 grand

Don't forget the 9

I've got one of the original X350s (before the facelift) - these truly do make you feel good and catch the eye of a passerby, whereas a BMW 7-series or a Merc S-Class won't. Perhaps being here in Britain helps as Jags are sort of motorist royalty here, as Bill has wisely identified! Mine is a V6 which is perfectly adequate but this model here was gorgeous and definitely the last *true* Jag before the radicalised 2009 model.

Old cars are always beautiful
