Just check out the 'spec' of the 'Connoisseur, SE.'

Re: your car
MalcI am in a position to be able and have bought a new car and my wife's car is only 4/5 years old.
If I wanted and could afford an older car it would be the 4.2 E type Jag. convertable, my dream car since being allowed to drive a friends many years ago. Sitting in the drivers seat looking down that long bonnet just sends tingles down the spine

Re: your car
Don't get sentimental about the rover 75, some have the same K series engines in as my MG, this only does about 500 miles a year, but I would not want to do anymore miles than that with the head gasket problems, mine has been changed for the higher spec one but I am still wary.

Re: your car
If I may add to this conversation. Two cars I had always wanted from Jaguars range was an E Type, (the 3.8, not later ones) or an XJ6.One day, I test drove one with a view to buying. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with it. Thats the reason I could never buy an E Type today. I'm scared that despite the fact I love the things, I'm scared that I might not like it and destroy my dreams. Does that make sense?

Hi there,
Yes, I know what you mean about the K series...
The 2.0 litre '75 that I drive has the BMW diesel engine.
I find this forum interesting, http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/
with many knowledgeable people on there. You may already be aware of it so forgive me for mentioning it.
Regards, Malc.

Nissan Xtrail Tekna new version bought 1 sept 2014. used to have a Landrover Freelander before. Why change from a 4 year old car to the above
I needed a 7 seater when my son and family stay. Like
fuel economy -cheaper road tax - more comfortable- electronic gadgets . and still a 4x4 wheel drive when required.
Don't like a little less power ( but get used to) flared front wheel arches as hard to judge car width- only one touch on driver door window.
So your likes and dislikes???

Re: your car
Sue that number plate had duel purposeI had it when I owned boarding kennels and those that saw it locally reminded them to book early for a space for their dog/cat
Next we had 3 dogs at the time and my name is barry
Hence B 3DOG
Not only that I have been offered at least 4x what I paid for it, and that is several thousands of £s, so it is an investment as well.
Even these number plate companies offered well in excess of what I paid originally.
For example P3 DOG is advertised for £2425 and with an earlier plate B it is worth half that amount again
Link check it out for yourself
http://www.plates4less.co.uk/private...ates/B3%20DOG/
Plus £80 transfer fee makes it £2505
