There isnt much more council than an E39 V8, although I have an upmarket Touring/Wagon version to carry my scrap around in
Not bad on fuel either.....

there's a guy up the road, probably in his 70s who has one of those rover SD1's with huge striaght through exhausts (sounds good to be fair) quite a sight though, of him and his also elderly wife going up the road in it, all i can think is he must have had it since new

No Jags on the list? Jags are proper council once the depreciation has kicked in

..never really experienced much want for any Jaguar for some reason

If I had one it'd have to be something odd and freakish like an Avon XJ6 estate

Haha maybe, although it was yellow!!
I must have become attached to it from spending my early years under it with him - i'd picked up on the word "pinking" being a bad thing - so a ~ 6 year old me told the man that came to buy it that it pinked!! Unfortunately, it turned out the car that pinked was my mum's MG Metro!!
