Default Bought two S-types now my wife wants one!

This year I bought a 2001 S-type 3.0l Sport with 69000 miles on the clock for a £1000. While it uses a little oil it has been a revelation, and a joy to drive. After 13000 miles it has had a new drop link on the off side front and everything else has worked fine.
My father then pulled his new car trick. Could I get him a new car. What would like? I don't know just buy me something. So I found a 2003 with 69000 miles an auto this time for £1650. The only thing wrong with it is the rear squab motor is jammed. Unfortunately my wife rather liked this one the 3.0l SE model.
So now I have to find a 3rd Jaguar.
I might have found a V8 this time... It is even newer but has a few more miles on the clock.
So you could say we are a family of converts. They are just really lovely cars to drive and to be in.

Well my 3.0l Sport is a silver one and father's 3.0l SE is Zircon. Kim's V8 SE is also Zircon. We have a deal so barring any change of heart from the seller we should be meeting her properly Tuesday.

So Kim's car is now on the drive very pretty complete with Jaguar mascot on the bonnet and on the side of the front wings and the boot and inside on the door panels. It also has the mesh grill. Kim reports that it goes well. She also has the Jaguar silly smile on her face.
