I still reckon the ultimate bargain barge is the XJS, of course not counting the fuel bills!

When I saw "reasonably priced" in the title, my tight fisted assumption thought about sub 3k!

I was going to also agree with the xjs but isn't the definition of a barge a full 4/5 seater large car such as the 5 series Beemer in the OP's post?

The XJS coupe has 4 seats, doesn't it? Big boot, too.

I thought they'd had a fairly successful racing history.
Didn't TWR win the European Touring Car Championship in one back in period?

Yep that was a bg buck TWR approach with a new period car. They are pretty funny to watch now. Like racing while sitting on your settee.
