Thanks for the replies chaps. Having spent some time checking out XJX's it seems that [email]I@m[/email] a softie - I can't bring myself to buy a minter and leave it out in the rain to cover a mere 5k per year. On the other hand a knackered one is not a decent enough proposition either.
Leaning towards the XJ8 - another classic shape, and having driven an XJR I foudn it fantastic, (and they are great value if you avoid the nikasil issue). Main problem now is finding an insurance quote that doesn't make me spit out my tea.
Rang adrian flux, and got quoted 3560 quid on a XJR valued at 8k!
Maybe EVO is right and I need a fiat panda 100hp instead!
