You can > pick up a '92 Jag XJ40 for 500 (and a whole heap of trouble, probably...) My Dad bought a Daimler straight six (the XJ40 model) around that year recently for about 1500 quid. He's spent about another grand on it, but it's in great shape now. I suppose if he'd spent 2500 quid outright, he'd have a similar quality car. I would say that bigger cars are better value for the money. Think a 500 quid Vauxhall Nova against a 500 quid SAAB classic 900 ... !!! All things considered, SAAB and old(er) BMWs seem to be the genuine bargains. Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/
