The current generation XJ8 is an amazing vehicle.
Mrs. MWT has a XJ8R. I am a Porsche driver, and it keeps up pretty good for a big sedan.

Gag heresy. Water-cooled AND SUV.
If you want a race-car SUV, get a Range Rover Supercharged.
(I do own a water pumper Porsche, but it’s a 997.)

I have a '99 and it's LOUD.
But then at WOT that's what I want (hehe).
Incredible bargains on Lightning if you don't mind buying the gas.

Thanks! I drive a 2004 Honda Civic si and a 1985 Nissan 300zx. Drive over a mountain twice per day and love the combos of power, handling, and relative fuel economy. I commute 200 miles per day, on average, so 300+hp is out of the question for everything except my fun car which is a '71 Datsun 240 which we're dropping a V-8 into.
VROOOOMMM VROOOOOOMMMMM
To: blackie
BTW, I’ve Eagle F1’s on my 2004 si. Awesome tires....

Still Lucas electrics ? Whitworth wrenches?

I have test driven several here in the past few months. They are all good. I hope Tata doesn’t ruin the badge............

Oh I wouldn’t buy it, never! I just think it’s interesting that some one would put a Chevy engine in a Jag....

Whitworth fasteners were gone on the sedans by 1968. Lucas electrics were on the way out in the 80s (most of my older car’s electrics are actually GM or Bosch components with Lucas stickers as TRW took over Lucas in the 80s; my XJR is almost totally Nippondenso and Siemens gear).
Unfortunately, after 2003, Ford stuck their noses into the sedans and quality went to hell because the Ford components were *worse* than the ND or Siemens they replaced.

It fits, some of the V12s do have ancilliary problems, and the V12s *did* use a TH400 transmission anyway.

I have 416 horsepower. But it’s shared between 2 cars and a lawn tractor. :)

Your nephew should be shot. XK140s are *rare*.
It’d be like taking a pristine 1953 Corvette - and sticking a Toyota Supra motor in it.

‘Some years ago” was closer to circa 1973.
Glad to hear about Lucas and Whitworth. :)

OK, my immediate response is that those guys are idiots.
First, anyone who would consider putting an 850 in that list is either clueless or insane. These cars are known far and wide for being horrendously expensive on maintenance, and needing a lot of it.
Second, they don’t include my car, the previous generation Audi A8 (97-03). It’s the quintessential all-weather driving machine. And we have a great knowledge base for DIY repairs and maintenance. A much better sedan choice than the Jag. And for a little more (but still under $20k), you can get its hopped up higher-performance twin, the S8.
