  Free Glasses 1 Mar 2001 (News)
  Nor are the allowances necessarily the prices quoted in Glass's Guide or CAP, and certainly not the sort of prices at which cars can sometimes be bought at auction, but they are close enough to give the public a good and fair guide as to where they stand with a dealer. For example, Value My Car values a 98R Ford Mondeo 2.0iLX with 36,000 miles at £5,080 in excellent condition; £4,840 in average condition and £4,550 in poor condition. The March 2001 issue of Glasses Guide gives a trade value of £4,975 for the same car in good conditon with full service history.

Indeed, the Sport was very much a precursor for the X300.

  Friday concept: Ital Design Kensington 19 Apr 2013 (News)
  Giugiaro was careful to ensure that it featured prominent ‘haunches’, a design signature that was consistent on all post-war Jaguars, barring the XJ-S. Inside, too, there was enough wood and leather to satisfy the most plutocratic owner/driver, but it was presented in a much more contemporary style. Of course, the quad-headlamps were dropped, and that would have been controversial back in the 1990s – but again, as the XF and XJ have proved, it’s possible for a Jaguar to do without this feature.
