My contribution to your question is based on the fact that I have owned a Rover 2.5 V6 manual previously and now have a 2.0 V6 auto and also have a Jaguar S Type 3.0 auto.
How do they compare? - well the Jag is certainly the quickest and quietest of the three and just as economical as the Rovers. Maintenance cost can be high and I have probably been lucky having spent about £1000 on mine since buying it 3 years ago so not too bad in my book.
Handling and ride are quite similar with steering lighter in the Jag and it has slightly more powerful brakes but not that much different.
Bodywork is lasting well on both cars but the Jag and the Rover both have problems with rotten sills as they get older (perhaps not a problem for you in Spain?)
For me, they are both great cars and I love the character and charm of them
compared to newer bland looking offerings from current manufacturers!
Best of luck with your search.
