Beautiful Jaguar XJS V12, such a deep rumble, so beautiful.

Not my picture but pretty much exact same car.

Those are awesome, I want that one in BRG. I really like the quad headlights.

I basically drove like a dick so I could see it from all angles, the owner gave me a wave and smiled as I gawked.

beautiful indeed. i prefer the coupe to the convertible, because look at those buttresses.

i also prefer the single unit lights to the the quad lights. they give a more sporting appearance, and are actually the way the car was designed originally. the quads were to satisfy US DOT requirements.

and of course: BRG.

I've had my coupe for about 7 years and 70k miles of use. They have their headaches but are worth living with through the long haul...James May's couch description pretty much sums it up :)

did you get or modify center caps to fit the front XJR rims?

spacers to clear the grease caps. the center caps still dont even fit. trying to figure out how to modify the center caps to squeeze them in there.

its ok for now. the wheels look great (i think) and the upsizing from 15 to 18 provides much more stability and confidence. they are at least 5 lbs heavier per corner, maybe even 10. but i can't really tell the difference, and the car never was a rocket off the line anyhow.
