JAGUAR XJ6 SERIES 1

PRICE RANGE - $5000 - $30,000

Yes, it blew head gaskets and leaked oil but the XJ6 I owned during the 1980s saved four lives. Forced onto the gravel by an on-coming car the brilliant six-coil suspension soaked every bump and didn’t spit us into the trees. That, pretty much, is all you can ask of any car. Lovely growl from the 4.2 as well.
