Building the Leg End. The Old Jag thread.
Hammy Jag video from 1984.
I miss the days when Jaguars looked like Jaguars and not a Qashqai.

I think they could have managed to say Legend a few extra times, I did enjoy seeing it though.

Re: Building the Leg End.
Shows how little the line had changed, but then neither had the car under the skin. They'd kept the same rust traps from the original XJ for starters.

Re: Building the Leg End.
When Ford took them over didn't the chief guy say something like the only factory that he'd seen that was worse was the GAZ factory in the USSR.
I’ve been to car plants all around the world. Apart from some Russian factories in Gorky, Jaguar’s was the worst I’d ever seen.’

Re: Building the Leg End.
It was well known at the time how archaic it was.
If I remember correctly John Egan spoke about it in his book about Jaguar.

Re: Building the Leg End.
But, nobody could really better the XJ12.
I wouldn’t cross the road to look at a recent Jag though.
