·Jag XJ8 or XJR.
Same parts as Lincoln V8 so parts easy to get and not $$$$.

Beautiful ride, power and luxury. But they are not uberwagens.

·+1 for the Stag!
I did mechanic duties for a Dolomite Sprint on domestic International rallies in the mid 1970s and it had the original engine that was doubled up to make the Stag's V8. The Dolly was very reliable, but the driver (Phil Darbyshire) was not a car breaker and used a very good preparation outfit -- Aldon Automotive. Alan & Don were another of the service crews when they could leave their very active workshop.

·E46 bmw 330i
If you want older a clean E36 works too.

··Ash @ ΩFBringing this forward because in 4 pages I still haven't seen anything better. For 10k you can get one than won't be a mechanical nightmare. It's fun to drive, has power and huge aftermarket. They are increasing in value. It won't scare your clients.

··"I cut it TWICE and it's still short!"I didn't read the whole thread so apologies if this was already mentioned.
You seem to be a Volvo wagon guy. (I've owned several 240s). This should give you that zip feeling.

·The search is over. I didn't go vintage but found something I'm familiar with and very happy with my find. Now let the modifications begin...

·Like I mentioned above, I ended up going for a W204.
My daughter will likely inherit it as her first car in a couple of years and hopefully I'll be looking at AMGs by then

·Consider a late 90’s to early 2000’s R129. Can be had for a decent price. After that, move up to my realm.
Seeing that is giving me repressed memory syndrome, I walked away from a mint top specced CLS550 2015/16 model about 12 months ago which was at a ridiculously low asking price at a local auction dealer, been kicking myself ever since, just looked online a few moments ago and the cheapest available is about 3 and a bit times more

·They vary a surprising amount, I’ve been in some where its absolute awful and others where there is next to none. I have no idea what makes some good and others bad though, it seems almost random.
Indeed! They’re super handsome cars, and fantastic in the sunshine, but that rattle just kills it for me.

·I always though MB MGB's were slick cars and I hear they're relatively simple to work on.

·I would have loved to get my hands on an MG and there were a few available but they're just not practical for my current needs
