Huh. The windows aren’t bulletproof.

So, the moral of the story is...no-one can take your driving license away if you can hang them for treason for trying?

That doesn’t stop a bullet. INB4 it’s in Britain, it’s an international figure, shit can happen anywhere.

I love the x-type wagon and I love it in that color. Methinks that is the only place where her majesty and I overlap.

The queen of England drives an old Ford.

I don’t think she has a drivers license

She’s a bigger fan of Rovers than you, I suspect.

I suppose a Ford Jag is more blighty than a Tata Jag or a VW Bentley or BMW Rolls-Royce.

To be fair, she is a trained mechanic so she saves money on the labour.

X-Type wagon is the best Jaguar ever

Its a Jaguar before anything else. Thats even if Her Majesty and the rest of the UK are aware that they were owned by Ford at one point.

I’m surprised she still drives

No drivers license (or passport) for the Queen since they are given out in her name she can just declare herself allowed to drive or travel into other countries.

Technically Her Majesty doesn’t need one as they are her roads but she also learned to drive when they didn’t have licences as such, just a test.

I believe she learned to drive in an army ambulance when she was a mechanic.

Security is always around her.

The guy is the passenger seat is security.

Also there is a panic/emergency button on the lower dash area that when pressed would essentially unleash hell on anyone who tried to attack her.

The X-Type is pretty well known to be based on the Ford Mondeo, read any review of the car and it’s pretty much always gets brought up.

As for people living in the UK, they know Ford owned PAG for a long time, including Jaguar, Aston Martin and Range Rover. There are people in the UK that think Ford is British.

I loved my black X-Type. Just saying.

can you blame them? Starting with the Lotus Cortina, moving on to the Escort RS’s and the later Escort RS’s and the Focus RS’s and the Fiesta RS’s, hell, even the Gt40.... most of Ford’s best cars that aren’t a Mustang or an F150 were designed and/or built in Britain.

I would love to see the Queen friggin wrenching under an old Jag. I feel like she might try but they have to drop her like “the Queen of England can’t be changing her own oil, let the mechanics do it!”

Given the country and the person, most likely yes.

This is why Jaguar should build an XE Estate.

An XF estate is coming to the US later this year.

And I get why they chose the XF not the XE — Mercedes E — but I suspect the Queen might prefer the XE. Maybe even with a stick.

The Jag above sure looks nice, though.
