Mk.X was too big and obese for me, but when Jag decided to slim it down and get rid of the excess flab to create the Jag 420/first Daimler Sovereign, it transformed an ugly duckling into a swan. Especially in dark blue with wires. And Radford made a gorgeous convertible - enjoy this video and a stunning model by Matrix.

Due to the waiting list for the XJ, the boss never had a Mk 1, so no knowledge.

To be fair, the XJ was a big improvement on just about anything in the late 60's, we're spoiled nowadays that there's no such thing as a truly bad car, plenty of crap ones but nothing truly bad?

Still, most could nevertheless be a lot more reliable and durable if the bean-counters who nowadays run the show at the car-companies would reduce their excessive cost cuts a bit. On the other hand, you could as well argue that there are not that many cars with a real distinctive and individual"character" in production nowadays although the variety of models is bigger than ever before. -- Last edit: 2017-10-15 19:30:07
