2002 Jaguar Vanden Plas XJ8 4.0 from North America

Summary:

Best car ever owned - I have owned 17

Faults:

Nothing other than scheduled maintenance. And a control arm bushing replacement.

General Comments:

I have owned three Jaguars. 1991, 1998 and 2002. The 2002 XJ8 by far has been the best. Low service cost, excellent ride and handling. Great machine!!!
