Haha, we certainly have different views when it comes to classic cars then :-D once funds permit, I'm looking at one of the 2000 era jag xkrs. One of those cars thjogh, gotta have the income, cuts if it goes wrong, its gonna be stupid expensive to fix. Let alone the cost of fuel for a supercharged 4 litre V8. But I am in love with that car and always have been.
niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeee , the interiors do it for me , such a nice place to be and its just as well when your sat by the side of the road after its turned to shit one more waiting for mr AA , id have 1 for sure but which ? xkr or xk8 , convertable or not , superdooper charger or not , hard to know

Never liked tvrs.

I'd go for the xkr though. Supercharged vi, god it sounds good. While I love the idea of a soft top, in the UK, not much chance to take advantage of it, and with top on, the hardtop just makes em look like white in comparison.

love um , love all the triumphs , they have a little bit of soul built in wheres jap bikes can be a bit clinical , sad to say i was eyeing up a 675 yesterday and i would have loved to have brought it , loved the colour , loved the looks , loved the age ( 2011 ) , everything was looking great until i looked down and noticed a coolant leak ,,, and thats a showroom bike , it seems they still havnt quite got as good as the japs with reliability , brother in laws got half a dozen 955i and 595 etc etc
