An 8.32 is now a collectors' item; IF you can find a (the) good one!

I find myself a bit of an apologist for the X350; it is a very modern design under the vintage bodystyle. After the somewhat compromised XJ40 and unbalanced X300, Jaguar did finally get a balanced and elegant take on the original XJ shape once again.

They don't actually sell them here yet, do they?

I cannot see Gad buying a brand new Datsun...

Not Citroen as a whole but more a model they make. (i.e. the C6 and 607 in Pugs case). Both, in some instances, have a lot to teach the Germans when it comes to ride quality....
But no-one would ever believe you when you say "i'm driving a luxury car..honestly", even if you tell them it apparantly 'rides' better than some German cars...

I won't be buying anything new - Datsun or otherwise

Luxury cars come a close second to boats when it comes to burning money

Not my cup of tea at all!

Jags are a tough call - I find myself really liking the look of some and appalled at others

Thema 8.32 is too rare and fragle to even consider - and not even very quick by modern standards

Can you debadge a Phaeton without leaving holes everywhere?

I'm not sure removing the roundels is a good idea; it'll look like it's been Beastied and you've owned it since 1980-something!
