[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Yep, its utterly hideous to aesthetically. 
Although most cars are these days.

[Sir Tigger KC]

Should add the only reason to discount the 5 series is my back injuries cause me issues with them.  Well, that and the fact Mrs TB won't get in it, but I see that as a bonus!

The issue with buying second hand is you're at the mercy of the person that ordered it. Even the E39 was available with the seats from the E38 750, but I think I have only seen four cars with those seats fitted.

Ultimately you're trying very hard to talk yourself into another Jag, but it's a fools errand.

You need something to cleanse the Omega from your soul. Something so mundane and incomparable that the car that replaces it will be a breath of fresh air.

Yes I agree. TB needs a complete reset and I have changed your link to something more suitable for TB reset purposes.

If you could live with left hand drive why not import a good example low kilometrage Omega from the continent?

There  are three 50k miles example for about £7000  in Germany( suchen .mobile.de website)I could put you in touch with the chap at Specialist vehicles who imported ours.

LHD wouldnt be for everyone! Overtaking and car park barriers to name just two but maybe Convert it to RHD?

An Omega from further South might be even better but low mileage jobs are harder tocome by in Spain in my experience and often do not have any service history at all. My local garage was gobsmacked when I insisted on him filling in the logbook.

Might be a bit retro but a low mileage high spec 3.0 Opel Omega would do the job……

Perhaps I am

I get that a Yaris or Aygo or Adam might be considered a shit box and uncomfortable to get to the end of the drive, and you'll note that I didn't suggest such a car... the Camry isn't a small car.

Without prying, (we all have issues), and bearing the above in mind...I don't understand how wwd is health related 

As an aside, SE spec BMWs are notably softer than the M Sport/full fat M siblings.

Quite an imposing car in an 'ugly as f*uck' sort of way. :)

Christ! That grille.

That's one awful looking vehicle, was the designer on cocaine?

[Doctor Gollum]

Talking of shit boxes, some dickhead in Chichester Licencing department allowed someone to licence a BMW 1 series hatch as a private hire vehicle

Credit to the designers,.the whole car is a bit more interesting to look at than previous models

I have a bit of a roadtrip planned for March in one of those. Whilst the Charger saloon or Challenger would perhaps be more appropriate, it would most likely be a 3.6 not the hemi and they're relatively shit on fuel compared to the Camry... And in the terms of the planned trip, that's the difference between sleeping in a really nice hotel or the car halfway through

I didn't think to put in the requirements, must be RHD. I kinda let that be an assumption, as I haven't taken a car abroad since 2019....

Have you looked at a recent BMW, Ford or Audi recently?

[TheBoy]

I drive a pig ugly car.  The last of the XJs had an arse even a mother couldn't love.  But as Mrs TB points out, I don't have to look at it when sat in the car.

[Nick W]

  The last of the XJs had an arse even a mother couldn't love. 

That was a traditional Jaguar styling idea. Look at a mkX, mk2, 420G or E-type

There also seems to be a law that all EVs must all be ugly.
