Help me choose....old/bargey/sheddy/likely to end in tears..

Budget is 2k tops so before anybody says it I KNOW i'll be looking at crusty stuff, BUT all of the below i have found with ticket and test in budget.

Car will be weekend/evening and economy isn't an issue; only must in classic policy insurable, which all are. I'm spanner handy with tools and a good workshop so again...not an issue.

Ideally I'd like to get my money back in 12 months or at least not lose too much!

So...thoughts...

1- Jag SIII



Wafty option, love them! seen a few 4.2's in budget.

2- XJS



Had one before, a late minty Celebration. I know this time it won't be such a peach but seen tidy facelifts for the money.

3- Merc SEC



The above is my old one...say no more

4- Merc 250 CE



Always wanted a classic Merc, think these are so pretty. For the money this option would be the roughest but may stretch budget. Happy to buy a running tinterking project.

5- MGB GT



Most practical and cheapest to run, also hold it's value the best?

None of them do it for me, I'd be looking at a much more recent XJ6 (X308?) or a 740i.

Not much help there I'm afraid Although the old Merc's do have a certain style.

I can't insure those for around the 100 quid mark though
