A Jaguar XJ4.2 is taking part in this year's Dakar rally - currently in 120th place or thereabouts.
All I can say is, good luck.

Note that even though they are Dutch, they are not towing a trailer!

...were they ever a factory option?
Anyway, if they actually make it to the finish you will never hear a Leyland joke from me again, ever. I love the idea.
The engine is a Rover V8, although appropriately a 4.2l.

You didn't actually think of British Elend did you?

Easy now, this thing is still infinitely sexier than a Porsche Cayenne!
