The last of the best. 2003 was the last year of the real all steel XJ8 (x308) Jags. That magical moment in the late 90s and early 2000‘s when Ford money and technological improvements came to Coventry England and yet the coach was still all Jaguar. A testament to the beautiful coachs Jaguar once built these cars with be collector vehicles. No one will ever build a coach like this again!

I live in the second largest city in Germany (which is quite small compared to NY) and I think the best you can you can do in big cities is driving a big car.
I own two Daimler Double Six (1996&1997) and two AWD cars, but just bought a 1999 Daimler Super V8 as a winter daily driver.
I just love the classic jags. They are elegant, classy, narrow and give you all the luxury you need.
They are rare and underrated, I want to safe these cars from getting in wrong hands. ;-)

Great video, this is an AWESOME car. I've owned one for over 16 years and drives beautifully. And yes, people still admire the car all the time.

OMG Eric, I did not know you have one of these? damn, love the vid and yes, you are huge, look like 6.5 feet tall, not just 6. You call I like I do. When Scotty Kilmer highlighted my XJR, people were making fun on how I said the word Jaguar.. What is it like living there? were you there on 9-11?

Hey man; very cool video. I'm looking to buy one of these. A man here is only asking $1000 for his 2002 and says it's 'running rough'. Not sure how many miles are on it. Any advice on buying it? Anything i need to know or be on the lookout for? 'running rough' may mean a new engine for all i know :) I'll take my first look at it tomorrow. Hope you can help; thanks

Sadly jags have a bit of a stigma. I never understood it though because in my experience they have been pretty reliable. People think that the only reliable luxury car is lexus despite the fact that this jag is just as reliable as a lexus

Hey Eric! When will the giveaway winner be announced?

Is NYC a Jag city? Many classic Jags there?
Hamburg is definately a Jag city, this is a thing I love about my city. Many classic Jags and Daimlers here.

This car does not do 500 miles of range... atleast mine doesn’t I get only about 250

It's not a classic. 25 years and older is classic.
