....said Gumbo, in the Ebay thread, and who am I to resist a thread about chariots?
So, after I've sold the Chim (which will probably take ages, but anyway) I quite fancy something like this:
I want to drive a Jaguar before I die, and my model of choice right now is the XJ. You can get them for silly money on Autotrader, I reckon I could get a 10-year old one for about £6000 in top condition. If I pay a bit more, I could get an XJR which is very quick indeedy, and actually doesn't really use a great deal more fuel than its lesser siblings.
My other options are a BMW 728/735 of similar vintage, or I might even just buy something cheaper for a while, perhaps an old Volvo V70 (I've had one in the past) which are pretty damn good cars.
