Here are some more pictures to whet your appetite;













The car has two sets of wheels. 18" 5-spoke "Proteus" alloys with Michelin summer tyres, and 17" 10-spoke "X-Sport" alloys with Nokian winter tyres.

With AWD and winter tyres the car is unstoppable in snow, here with the 17"



This car has been pampered and cherished, I am the second owner, the previous owner was a lawyer in Zürich.

Full service history at Jaguar dealers in CH, except for the last service done at a specialist Jaguar garage, where the bill was CHF 4000 for the service and the whole suspension to be overhauled.

I've probably spend upwards of CHF 10'000 on this car in the 2 years i've owned it, by adding the missing factory options, servicing and pampering.

Since i've spent all the money on this car, you, the lucky buyer, won't have to spend a rappen...receipts for everything are on hand.

Price is on request since it's unfair to compare Swiss prices to UK or US prices.

 

It's been sold...

 

Congratulations!

Um, why are you crying?

 

Cause i never wanted to sell it in the first place, forced sale due to an international move.

And i put so much time & effort (& cash) into the damn thing...

 

I know about that. I had to sell my beloved VTR250 for a move. At least it went to a collector in Hawaii. Hey, If I had to move somewhere, Hawaii would be good.

 

Congrats and sorry about the sale. Hope the new owner will love the X as much as you did

 

was difficult to part with mine too

 

But at least you had a chance to enjoy it on the German Autobahn & also around the Alps! In 2003, I had the same same model. Picked it up at the Frankfurt Airport and drove South to Garmish, Neuschwanstein Castle, the Swaovski Crystal Works, Lake Chiemsee, Salzburg, Cortina D'Ampezzo, Vincenza, Venice, Bolzano, Munich, and back to Frankfurt. Mine would only go 125 MPH on the Autobahn. How about yours? Anyhow, that 10 day 'test drive; sold me on the car. It was the best I had even driven. So I bought one in Aug 2005.

 

Had it up to 230km/h on the clock, in reality that was probably around 220km/h. Def not a bahnstormer, the XJR on the other hand....
