Ah, so now I understand why Dave was suggesting saloons - I had no idea X300 XJs were so cheap (I'm guessing it would have been on the list?). Many years ago I put a deposit on an XJR only to find it wouldn't fit my parking space. I'm 51, so it's probably time I scratched that particular itch (not an XJR, a 3.2 Sov will do the job...). Relatively cheap to tax, reputation for being reliable, plenty of experienced independent mechanics around, plenty of parts about.
Don't get me wrong, I love the look of a well sorted 240 or 940 saloon but a good one is 3x-4x the price of an XJ!
