So the mgf is going to be on its way soon
And the need to replace it will be instant
But.......do I let my heart rule my head or the other way around??
I'm thinking I need another big old barge
Jaguar XJ or w210 merc, but me and young George have been talking about an escort van to modify
I've been offered a 96 xj6 for a good price
But I'm undecided , would like another escort van a late one in tidy nick to modify
But the jag is tempting!....any opinions?

Neither. If you like the big old barges then a W220 is the one you want. Lots of car for your money and getting cheaper now too  |

Who was it said 'There's nowt as expensive as a cheap Jag'?
Of COURSE you should buy it, and then let George drive it, just to really hack off all his C1 driving mates!

Get an Escort van. Or better still a Transit! VW style. Really clean and low on some nice rims.

I suspect that there will always be decent Jags for decent money around. How much longer will there be half decent Escort Vans for sale though? You will also get your money back on the van, maybe not so much with the Jag.  |

 I have to confess, as not a particularly big fan of small modified vans, the idea is growing on me quite a bit! |

Van all day long, just think of the two of you going to shows together. And the practicality.

Depends on whether you want a cruiser or a parts hauler. Is getting both a viable option?

E32 Bimmer. An understated luxo barge, beautifully built and finished, easy to work on. Miss mine terribly, but divorce meant the sale of my E32 and P6 V8 to pay to get shot of the old trout, and car wise I never quite recovered (although chick wise I'm streets ahead  ) |

Just faded paint on the roof
And slightly saggy headlining as usual
Mot until the end of the year and a three figure price
Some nice inspiration on vans here tho....

To think that I felt restricted when I only had a 1/4 acre property in town. Still managed to park six cars, a trailer, and an eleven metre bus. Do you not have a lawn you can convert into parking?

Van. Honestly I think the van will make more sence long term and it will give George to really get his teeth into. FWD escort vans are quite cheap for what they are, but once alot of the better ones dry up i can see that changing. They are already cool, and that yellow one above is icebox. Jag is big wafty and er... big.
