S type Jags

[consettsafc]

Anyone got one and what are the pros and cons, just had a look at the 2.7 diesel SE specked.

Engine Size 2720 cc
Cylinders 6
0-60 mph 8.1 s
Power Output 206 bhp
Valves 24
Torque 435 Nm 320 lb-ft
Top Speed 143 mph


good power specs - depends on the gearbox ratios as to how well it can shift though . bit lardy and old manish to me , alot of ford mondeo on them and the depreciate really badly. would be a monster car with a remap like

They did a S Type Rwith souped up spec.

Absolutely beautiful body. I cant believe they discontinued it, it was gonna be my holy Grail car when I'm a fat old geezer and cant climb into a Jeep any more.

Yes, I sold mine last year. Lovely motor.

Now I am an old man I am having a Jag next. Wanted one since I was 16. Can't make my mind up between an S type and an XJ. S type may be more practical for work but I the XJ has always been my favourite.

Low mileage diesels are like rocking horse shite though unless you have wads of cash.

I can't afford a new one and have always been put off by the potential repair cost of a low mileage used one. Am I too cautious?
