I mostly do short trips, so I'm getting around 20MPG - but at 53p a litre I don't really care

Its on a classic policy (£236 a year) Tax is only £190 for a year (pre 2001) and its just heaven to drive. And while it is slightly more comfortable than the 75, there is a LOT more room inside the 75.

Dare I say it, if I was a family man looking for a practical car the 75 would swing it - the boot on the Jag is very shallow (and with the gas tank in there no room for the spare wheel) the jags rear seat also does not fold down (unlike our 75 that has both a ski hatch and a folding seat)

There are other things, and it would be unfair to compare both cars (as the 75 is the more modern of the 2) but I am not a family man and I can live with the shallow boot and "cosy" interior for that V8 warble
