I was very similar to this, looking my first v8 for a family of 4. I was dead set on it being a jaguar xfr. I then got reminded of the vauxhall monaro....that was then the one I wanted, 6.0ltr v8 😍 Problem was that there weren't many around for sale. Finally got one for £11k.....one of the best sounding cars ever! No silly gimmicks in it, just a bog standard no frills car that just wants to spin those back wheels. The jag would have been better as its more modern and upmarket but the monaro just makes me smile. Looking at it, hearing it, driving it and looking at people faces as it rumbles past them 👌

It doesn’t have 4 seats or a V8 but I recently bought a 987 Boxster S for under £10k. Really underrated car. I’m loving it and my kids want to be driven wherever they’re going in it too!

Couldn’t ignore the XJ Supersport, mine is 2011, 70k, FSH and I paid around your budget (it had some issues that I knew about but drove fine) so spent from Jan to July getting it ready it ready for the trip and it was brilliant! Fast, amazingly comfortable and not bad on fuel! Over the 1000 or so miles it did 33mpg.

I had a Maserati Coupe, low-speed collision, and insurance offered double what I paid for it... I was doing some house renovations and I did need some money... took the cash, and bought a V6 XJ6 2005, £2.5k. I was happy for 9 months, but like you, I got the itchy feet and wanted a V8. So, I have been looking for a Quattroporte 4.7 on the advice of JayEm to avoid the 4.2 can variator issue... however, I was offered an S4 avant with the 4.2 V8 and tiptronic box for silly money. So, I am sort of in between. I'm not an Audi guy, I haven't warmed to the car... Milltek exhaust two weeks' time to see if that will scratch the itch, BUT I have Quattroporte on search alerts to find the right one... it's so complicated. I now have a V6 XJ and the S4, but.... Italian exhaust note from a flat plane crank... can the Audi save me, or will I be on the hunt?

Fantastic work! XK's are much worse value than these, XFR's rarely as much of a bargain. I ran two XFR in a row for 9 years and loved them, and the XJR was one of the possible replacements - had I still been doing the regular long trips - UK and Europe - I'd have gone that way. These Supersports fly under the radar and they and XJR's are incredibly light for their size (lighter than an XFR I believe)... Just beware the timing chain issues on the engines, change them if they get noisy! Incidentally I now have a Giulia Quad and while much about it is amazing, I miss the character of the Jag 5.0SC engine - it is one of THE great engines out there right now and I hope to have more. ideally in an F Type one day.

For £10k, I'd get an XFR or XJ 5L. Incredible cars and fewer huge expense risks than equivalent German cars. I've owned a V10 M5, a W211 E55AMG and currently have a C6 RS6. Things like brakes on the Germans, up to and beyond £1000 per brake disc (not ceramic) and suspension systems, such as Airmatic, ABC, DSC that cost a fortune to resolve. And the SBC braking system on the Mercs can be a nightmare. Any 500bhp car at £10k could throw you an eye watering bill, the Germans just have more eye watering bills to choose from. Whatever you buy, do your research and know what to look for.

I think Jaguar are the first of many to rebrand as car manufacturers go full ev. ev’s are going to be more about style, gone are the days of 4 cyl, V8’s, V12’s, and flat-plane cranks and ITB’s giving the car a soul, a unique feel, sound and performance, with an e.v, just turn up the amps if you want more power or fit another motor… it will be all about the colour, vegan ‘leather’ and sent module… so like jaguar, car manufacturers will turn into style brands.

C219 Mercedes CLS63 are way down now (circa 10k) and quite interesting car from design etc standpoint. There are only 7 on the market though
