I appreciate my view on value will annoy some but as has been said before, as the bad ones disappear those remaining will ultimately increase in value although I do so worry about our current political drive to push ICE cars off the road, so the future is unclear. On this (and petrol stations!) I did recently write a post on Hydrogen - I then wrote to my local MP who took it to parliament but the reply amounted to making a point that battery technology is catching up i.e. they are not pushing hydrogen (already proven by the likes of BMW in the 90s) which tells me there is a hidden agenda. Sorry gone off on one but the recent publicity on the electric E-type drove me mad; why could they not have spent the money on modifying the petrol engine to run on Hydrogen which would create an appetite for others to follow and perhaps do the same for cars like the XJS
Back to the point of this post - I must confess I too never considered an XJS until my wife told me she liked them! So we decided that we would like to own one and not only did we find a green model (for me a Jag has to be green), it is a manual
. Again undervalued but this makes me smile as very few appreciate how special it is! The reality is that my car (ahem my wife's) is virtually irreplaceable as there are so few, so is a relief that currently she(the car) is not an Eleanor (Gone in 60 seconds)!
