Jaguar XJ C 4.2

Where the E-type stood for pace, the XK for grace, the XJ stood for space. A wonderfully spacious tourer packed with class, Jaguar’s flagship where they loved to show off all their gadgets and new gizmos. The fastest four-seater in the world when the car first rolled off the assembly line. The car was rarely delivered as a coupé anyway, which now makes this a real collector’s item.

Anyway, enough about investment and performance, let’s talk about what lasting impression this car leaves behind. After all, a Jaguar driver also knows that you have to drive this car with respect. That means that the sports hangover of yesteryear should purr quietly, not roar. It is sometimes said in the car world, the car looks like its owner. However, this tomcat also knows how to take the owner with her grandeur. Indeed, when you get in, you immediately get the feeling that you know about opera, wine, politics and poetry.

Ours? A blissful colour combination, a 6-cylinder which in terms of consumption and weight ratio feels a bit more favourable than the 12-cylinder and can still insert well. Just completely rebuilt, Dutch delivered and serviced by Kroymans with lots of documentation. That’s a nice start, right?
