Boy you got that in one..I had my share of working on,and rebuilding Jags from about the Mk1 and 2,(like the white one),through to the XJ series,and I always hated them..The only thing I can say that I liked about them,was the thickness of the panels..Taking them apart and re assembling them was a pain,,and worth every cent you charge the owners.....In fact,most English cars of that era were fun to work on........not....

And,yes,Uncle Bob..it's a mk ix..and the other is a mkv..
another interesting fact...The pre war appearing Mercedes ragtop that was in at least one of the Indiana Jones movies....is actually a Mkv Jag sedan,with the roof whacked off,early Merc front panels,etc,,and is now owned by Sir Peter Jackson,the movie dude,,and it,s sitting in one of Jacksons workshops in Wellington,,along side Chitty Chitty Bang bang.. (todays useless information)....
