Jaguar did something sneaky recently. It withdrew the XJR from sale without telling us a thing. Try to walk into a Jag dealer with a metal case of tenners to buy a brand-new XJ surely the only way to buy a new XJ and all they"ll give you in return is a diesel. Perhaps Jag thought we were distracted by the sunshine and the World Cup. (We were.) Briefly submitting to millennial-spec, melodramatic exaggeration, this is a tragedy. One of the biggest-hearted, most chock-full-of-character cars on sale has quietly exited stage left at precisely the time petrols are meant to be taking back over from diesels. Our hearts are broken. If ever there was an excuse for one last blast, though However, we"ve not driven the swansong XJR alone. It"s brought along the XJ C, its great great grandad, for company. The XJ marked 50 years in production recently, and these are surely the two most appealing examples.
