A big hello to the group on a wet St George’s day. 

Hi everybody, after spending a couple of years putting off getting a Jag due to an unspecified virus from unknown origin I’ve finally dipped my toes in the Jaguar waters with a 2016 XFS-D and I love it. What a car!! I cannot describe how well this thing drives,  

The only issue I have is I’m now looking for a classic Jag as a weekend car. 
Regards.

Welcome aboard Craig! If you're looking for a classic Jag as a weekend car, an XJ40 would be a good bet. Assuming you can find one that is solid and has a good service history, you shouldn't go too far wrong. They drive in a very modern way but still have the classic looks and age so classic insurance shouldn't be a problem.

After that, a Series III XJ6 would also be good but expect much more body roll (softer suspension) and do an even more thorough inspection for tinworm. The XK engines are nearly bombproof though so as long as there are no untoward squeaks, rattles, knocks etc from any part of the car, anothe good option. Thirstier and slower than the XJ40 though but you do have two fuel tanks so the range is good.
