I love the styling of Jaguar's and have salivated over owning one.
The pre-81?? used Lucas wiring, which should be avoided.
They depreciate like crazy so are a good used car value, but I don't believe they hold up as well as a Mercedes.
People complain about the price of parts on MB's, but the trade-off is superior engineering. You get what you pay for.
With Jaguar you get high parts cost and questionable engineering...
