Advice re jaguars please....

Hi folks,
I have a bit o a quandry here. I currently own a Merc 300te estate which is a fantastic reliable efficiency wagon.
However, my intention was to buy a TVR which has hit the rocks recently due to baby number 2 which I am justifiably very happy with.
I still have a need for a sporty car, and have always admired Jaguars but have been ushered away by a very sensible wife.
I have always been under the impression they are excellent, but very expensive as they always go wrong.
Is this the case? I dont want to open a hornets nest, but would really appreciate some help in deciding whether to stick with the merc, or go patriotic with a Jaguar. And if so, which one?
Thanks for the help in advance folks,
Mike.

Thanks for the wisdom chaps, much appreciated. I would love an XJ-R but funds wont stretch at the moment, what about an xj sport?
Interesting fact about Nicasil, I had a 5 series Bmw with that problem, also fixed with a complete engine change!

I have sent you an email.

Ahh, that devil on my shoulder......Hi Mike.

Hello again,
What about the earlier, xj40 xjr's?
Are they worth thinking about for a daily runner?
Thanks.

Extremely nice picture, what about the earlier ones again, were they supercharged?

hmm, you must have ben reading my mind...
I would have to sell my wifes seat leon first, a bit unfortunate as she is rather attached.
Definately food for thought though.
