Jaguar E-type - Stick or twist?

I'd twist. Just sold my Tuscan and I cannot see them going below 20k ever again. Perhaps the a DBS or my choice would be the Vanquish as these are starting to get collectable vibes...

Are you suggesting original Vanquish or new shape? I've heard horror stories of running costs on the original Vanquishes as parts are super expensive

I'd stick with the E-type. If you fancy trying a 4C, there have been a few good lease deals recently, might be a good way to try one out for a couple of years without making a huge commitment.

That is a really good shout, am having a look around today to see what best deals are. Might be a way to keep the E-type and try an Alfa for a couple of years without breaking the bank

Keep an eye on the lease deals thread. There's also a specific thread on the Alfa sub forum. There was a deal on the Coupe for 8000 miles a year, approx. £2k initial and then £249 a month going around about a month ago, but that's disappeared now. They come and go though.

By the way, the cheap deal from a month ago was from Thames Alfa. Their website still has an offer showing, which while nowhere near as good as the last one, is cheaper than I can see on contracthireandleasing. They also have a nice looking yellow 4C with the desirable options available for lease, who knows, they may cut a deal on this.

Cheers Gareth, I actually found that thread this morning and have posted for some advice on best deals. If I can get Thames to a deal near £249 then may well take a punt as pretty good value to try one for a few years and would allow me to keep the Jag. Win, win

Did you ever go for a 4C? Reason I ask is there is a chap on the best lease deals thread looking for someone to take over the lease on a 4C spider anniversary, just a couple of months old.

No, still looking at 4c lease options but will have to be a coupe for me, don't really like the spiders. Thanks for the heads up though
