    I have very fond memories of the caviar red X351 with tan interior we had. It was equipped with the controversial biturbo 3.0 V6 Diesel (PSA-Ford engine).
    This XJ was such a hoot to drive, a set of rear wheels lasted about a year. (Including a change to winter tires...)
    With massive amounts of torque (700Nm) low down in the rev range the rear really liked to step out when accelerating from crossroads.
    It was still incredibly economical while riding in sublime comfort!
    Crossing Germany with one tank of fuel while doing >200km/h (120mph) on the Autobahn whereever possible was quite something!
    The Jaaag was the perfect long distance cruiser but also capable of blasting along stable & safely with 250km/h if neccessary.

    The amount of time between him getting the news and the hug is a sign of what the years of abuse have done to this man. He deserves a fifth moneypit.

    I've loved an XJ ever since that scene in Skyfsll. M gets chucked into the back of hers, but Bond is behind the wheel and takes off before her aid gets into the car. He takes a sharp corner and smashes off the kerb and disappears up the street at speed. Epic.

    I have to agree with Rory on the xj, I think it's one of the most beautiful sedans ever made.
