i'd either have pre 2003 XJ... but it would have to be supercharged!

If i went post 2003 it would be the diesel

The 2.7 TDVI is a good drive, very quiet and very quock. But the diesel was only introduced in 2005, earliet I've seen is '55' plate, possible there could be '05' plate one's. And the diesel's are sought after, so more expensive. Sovereign spec is the one to go for, that gives you xenon's, better quality leather, touch screen sat nav etc. Many of the other models have the sat nav and other extra's. but the sovereign is the equivalent to the Elite model in the Omega range. Pre '05' just had 'SE' spec.
Post '05' are the best one's, even the 3.0 V6 is a good drive.
My ultimate one would be the Daimler Super Eight. The queen has one, it's effectively just a very expensive XJ LWB, but is veeeeery nice. It's for those that want a bit more than a Jaguar, but not quite a Bentley...sits just in the gap.
There are a few 05 diesels about  :y Should actually be getting
an 04 plate XJR next week
  :)

Oh it is nice, black cream leather with black piping, and front and rear DVD screens  8-)

ive owned my 2001 xj8 3.2 sport for over 3 years its fitted with lpg and apart from a new  lambada sensor and a air flow meter ive not had a bit of trouble from it flys through all its mot"s . not much room in the cab considering its size , defo more head and leg room in my omega .

if you do buy one put your mind at rest and buy a AA breakdown parts and labour warranty costs peanuts and covers you up £2.500 per year in claims ,

oh ps make sure your insurance company will cover lpg a lot don't . 

ive owned a lot of high end cars and the jag is by far the best for day to day use i had  :y
