It will be tough, It depends what is availible in 2023.

I have now a '88 XJ-S V12 and a '99 Elite.

Imagine how cool they will look in another 10 years, like having an E-Type and a Vauxhall Royale now! 8-)

I forgot to mention XJ's, had a Daimler Soveriegn years ago, same time as a mate had a V12 Jag.
   The XJ's have a certain timeless presence to them. 8-)

Loads of cars I'd love to own: Monaro, Audi TT, VW Passat, etc I've got an Omega because it was affordable to buy, parts are cheap, local garage can service it etc. I'm struggling to find anything that meets all those criteria with a semi decent engine. Main sticking point for me is that newer cars with >= 1600cc all incur super high taxation costs.   performance diesels are cheaper to tax but 5 times more expensive to buy, even when old and >100K on the clock. So when the Omega finally dies I may have to resign myself to Public transport or a Corsa 1.2, I can't decide  :-/

No ta! Will not ever drive a small car!
Some may remember that i arrived at the lakes meet 07 in a hired Megane. This was negotiated after they tried to fob me off with a micra as a family car! The manager was quite concerned that i wouldn't manage such a big car! He was quite taken aback when i told him what i drove and that i would not under any circumstances drive a small car!
I just have no concept of spacial awareness in a small car!!!!!!!!

Qasqai here i come!

I quite like the new one, no room in the back seat so not practical, but a better retro than the mini, imho...........

replacements to consider:

300c - they are still coming down in price.
A8 - lot of car for your money if a little bland
Merc E class - 300C looks better and more individual (sorry Jon)
skoda superb - possibly if the right one came along, although FWD  
BMW 7 series - pre 2000 model, they still look good


as a second car - the 911 will be there in the garage

Bmw 630. Might be old but still good.

[MartinP]

Something else for £500.  

[albitz]

late nineties 7 series with lpg would do fine.
