Ever... a classic Jag E-Type makes Jag the clear winner imo. Maybe it's because I'm English, but that car is pure fucking sex. Modern day? I think jags are shit based off what I know about them (although they've got that F-Type which looks really nice and if that was all I cared about in a car) and I don't really like Mercedes styling... but my fiancé's GLA is a pretty fun car to drive. So then I guess it's down to the budget as to which I'd prefer. But if budget isn't an issue, then I'm getting a classic E-Type and then Jag wins that battle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a few Jaguars and a few Mercedes I'm looking at the moment (all older models; X and S Type for the Jag and various models of Mercedes but CLK 230 is currently my favourite).

Originally I only considered Mercedes anyway since their engine is a workhorse and it's one of the most important factors for me when buying an old car (fun fact: a friend who renovates boats actually puts old Mercedes engines into them haha) until I accidentally got a few decent offers for the Jags today and I've always been a sucker for them (probably the only English manufacturer I truly like) so that gave me some second thoughts. But yeah should probably stick with Daimler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah should probably stick with Daimler. I’ve been told by a mechanic relative: don’t you ever buy a Jag or a Range Rover, it’s not worth the maintenance. It’s probably good advice. Granted, that’s when they were both Ford owned. I’d still buy an E-Type if I ever got a chance though because if that’s happening I’m rich as fuck and I won’t give a shit about maintenance But I think a safer bet as a consumer would be a Benz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Ever had anyone come up to you and just ask "hey, would you be interested in selling your car?" Err... what mate? Go to a place where people typically buy cars rather than just approaching some random bloke in a car park as he's putting groceries into the car.

Bluewolf Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 @nudge This is probably my favourite out of those... not really been a fan of Moto Guzzi... Talking of being on Mars I would be happy to zip around the place on this.. We can see if we can pick you up one of these from the second hand disused Galactic Junk Yard and we can spend the days just racing each other across the dunes...
