If a Jag is out of budget, so will a 540 worth buying ;)

7 series would be a leggy diesel.

Either Jag and again you don't want to buy cheap.

W211 E500 nice choice, especially in estate form 8) but nice ones still fetch good money.

If you can reach £10k, there's some nice, well specced W212 estates around...

Here's my V8 offering.  8)

The miles are a tad high though, so I'd want to knock a bit off the price, but these are great cars, not as agricultural as they look and can eat up the motorway miles effortlessly.  This one has 295bhp!  :y

Hmm, think I’d prefer the L322 FFRR, disco’s just never “did” it for me :/.

Also, why settle for a mere 4.4l ;)

Poundland interior notwithstanding ofc  ::)

Looking at the background, £20k for a VXR8...  :o

There was a point in 2008 where you could by a new one for £23k... Nearly did, but stock was all red and I wanted white ::)

Yes I got rid of my Disco 3 and have my eye out for a suitable Rangie as I've always fancied one.  :y

I think that the Disco 3/4 are somewhat cooler than the Rangie though, and the old joke What's the difference between a Range Rover and a Hedgehog........, sums it up really.  ::)  ;D

Not a fan of the Range Rooney.

When all is said and done it is an expensive van with windows.

I still have a RR itch, and no matter how long I nick one of joshwyatts ones, itch doesn't go.

But when I put it on the driveway, its plain how impractical it is.
