- <p> The Jaguar XJS: What lover of four-wheel luxury doesn't
- dream of leaping into that driver's seat and roaring off in
- Britain's famous sports car? Well, Britain's famous Princess
- Diana, for one. The occasional social partner of Prince Charles
- has sold her Jag, and is now leasing a $130,000 red coupe built
- by...Mercedes-Benz, a favorite target of British bombers 50
- years ago. Di's offshore wheels arrive at a time of recession
- at home--inspiring outrage like that of Labour M.P. Dennis
- Skinner: "This is another example of the royal family showing
- contempt for British workers. They live off the fat of the land
- with taxpayers' money--and then spit in their faces." The
- scandal hit as Queen Elizabeth celebrated her 40th year on the
- throne. She was not amused.
