WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
PRICE WATCH
Concours £8000-10,000 Excellent £6000-8000 Usable £1500-3000 Project £400-600
This sort of money will get you into a V6, V8, or diesel but the best R models are into the late teens. There are lots around and prices haven’t changed much of late, and while good ones will sell more quickly it’s too early to be thinking about values going up. Which means you should just concentrate on buying the best example you can, looking after it, and enjoying the modern classic Jaguar experience.
