I considered old shape XKR's too, it was the shape that put me off, still too pipe and slippers for me - the new one on the other hand, I could almost go for.....in a few years.
This one would do nicely http://www.evo.co.uk/news/evonews/25354 ... ition.html
And I know Ekona, a 911 GT3 would be preferable obviously
the old shape xkr are ok, solid engines, but not as fast as you would think, make a lot of noise but dont really pull the way you want. the new shape XK 4.2 engine is quality, fast and solid, then theres the updated 5.0 engine which is sweet, but then there is the R versions, which are very very fast.
if i was going for a jag and not for a lot of money, i would have an s-type R, very fast, handle brilliant, looks are ok i suppose, and the noise the supercharger makes is awesome, best out of all the superchargers.
