While driving the XF is never a hardship, being able to plug our iPod into the Jag and enjoy better sound quality at 70mph than we have in our front room at home is a treat. Needless to say, the money-no-object speakers aren’t top sellers (around two sets of the hand-built units are bought each week), but the technology they showcase has helped Bowers & Wilkins to come up with one of the finest in-car systems we’ve ever sampled. Yours for the princely sum of £44,000, they make the XF look like a bargain! Even with the luxurious optional extras fitted to our model, it still weighs in at less at £41,989. When we winced at the £1,116 price for the car audio set-up in our previous report, Bowers & Wilkins got in touch to prove that the Jaguar is in the speaker premier league with its specially developed set-up.īased in Worthing, West Sussex, the British audio company brought along its flagship Nautilus speakers to be pictured with our long-termer. Believe it or not, the audio speakers pictured here are nearly the same price as our Jaguar XF long-termer! The huge snail shell-like units are made by British hi-fi specialist Bowers & Wilkins, the firm which also supplies the fantastic sound system fitted to our favourite executive saloon.
