Jaguar owners:
Seriously considering purchasing a Jaguar as a retirement gift to myself. I've done a fair amount of research. All of the "hot" collectible models are out of my price range (XK's for example) Also, I have 2004 Mini Cooper S and a 1961 Austin Healey BugEye Sprite. Both look and drive better than new. So, I want the Jaguar to be in the luxary category rather than sport. I'm not interested in a soft top.
I'm willing and able to work on it in terms of cosmetics, interior,etc. Not real skilled at a heavy-metal mechanics.
Can I get a driveable Jaguar such as I'm describing above? I've heard that since I'm interested in the "English" pedigree of the car, I should avoid post 1990...is that correct?
Really appreciate your help on this.
