I bought a Jaguar XJ6 1972 a few years ago. The car looks as good as new considering her age. I am only the second owner and the little old lady (no joke) whom I bought it from was concerned that I look after her properly, which I have done and continue to do so. When I drive or clean her I sense the spirit of the design and craftmanship. The (late) chief designer said the XJ series "is the best we've ever done". Her condition and driveability have never let me down. Seeing my kids fall asleep in the back seats as she faithfully purrs along is all the satisfaction I need. New this, new that - we've lost something along the way.
