Jaguar X-Type

When it dropped in 2001, the X-Type was the smallest Jaguar on sale and the manufacturer's first compact saloon since the Mk I of 1955. You could get in saloon and estate flavour and it was loosely based on the Ford DC132 platform (the one the Mondeo used).

It also came in four-wheel drive, which Jeremy found very useful for a spot of British skiing...
