Jag/Range Rover combo. Good or bad idea?
Discussion
I have wanted a Jag since my earliest days. I was brought home from hospital as a newborn in my Dads mates XJ6 and as. A kid I am told i would spend hours in the garage just sitting in it. I have also wanted a Range Rover since I got my first Dinky toy one aged about 4.
2 cars I've never had the balos to buy. When the chance comes up, money or cicrumstanes get in the way.
We have a need for 2 cars. One has to be reasonably new, decent performance and I guess economy. Used for the daily run and as the car you take for best. I also want somthing 4x4 to cope with the odd bit of winter, carry dogs crap etc to and from our place in scotland. It would really only be used on long A road trips and dog moving to and from various Scottish lochs
I really dont want to part with more than 30k.
So how about this for a plan.
A jag XF premium Lux diesel for around 20k, and I see early L322 Range Rovers are going for 7-8k. So get one with either the diesel or something v8 already converted to LPG..
(This would involve me saying goodbye to my lovely 6 month old MX5.)

Jag and Range Rover sound ideal, that's what I'd do too.
I have this combo.
I've had Jags, XJs mainly, for year and years. I've had 3 XJRs on the bounce for the last 10 years now with the current one being a 2007. This is my daily car that I use for tooling up and down the M4 to work each day.
After the bad snows of the year before last I decided before last winter to buy something that I could actually get out of the drive in the snow. So I started looking around for a beater 4x4 and was surprised to see P38s were so cheap. I'd always fancied a RR but had never really needed one. So I started looking around and ended up with a 2000 FF RR Vogue 4.6 with all the toys. For the princely sum of £2.5K. This has now become my weekend car for bumbling around town and picking stuff up or dropping stuff off.
It's a great combo, Jag for pace and distance, RR for swaning around town.
So hoping for some decent snow this year, we mainly missed it round this way last winter
