25K should swing a decent Jag sedan, I would think (not one of the new ones, obviously, but a classic). Or the best MG Magnette on the planet... -- Max Heim '66 MGB GHN3L76149 If you're near Mountain

15-16k will buy a nice, low milage 93-94 Jaguar XJ6 (XJ40 series), a very nice daily driver. This would also leave plenty of cash for repairs or your MG. Some in the Jag community consider these to b

The thread about 'MG's costly to fix?' fits into an interesting discussion I am having with myself (not out loud!). My current car, a 1995 VW Jetta GLS, is eligible for replacement in January (van pa

That's what I am considering when I need a replacement. In this instance I think I will consider a US auto built in the early 60's. You can find some really low mileage ones which will cost about on

Whatever you get, make sure it is old enough to be exempt from emission testing if you live in an area that has it. This can make owning a classic that you want to drive a headache. Typically cars 25

Dan: I have an 85 mile per day highway commute. I'm building a 73 MGB GT up as a daily driver (exempt from emissions). Emphasis is on cheap, safe and replaceable as the drivers I encounter every day

A Jaguar MkII 3.8 with manual transmission will satisfy the need for the sedan (or saloon, shall we say) and still provide plenty of fun classic motoring. You could get a show room condition car and

Dan, I drive my MGB every day. Some days that is in excess of 100 miles of city driving. It has never left me stranded, and is VERY cheap to drive (thank you Moss). I would put it up against any new

On tiny item of note, and it's not really an issue here in LBC-land. The XJ6 and the XJ-S will accept a Chevy V8 transplant, although not without cultural rejection. The Mk-1, Mk-II and S-Type will N
