Which used Jaguar is best?
I am hankering after my first, and probably only, Jaguar. I do very low mileage and would prefer a car with a petrol engine and manual gearbox. What do you recommend? I have up to £20k to spend.

Jaguar made hardly any manuals subsequent to the X-Type until a couple of years ago. Manual was recently re-introduced with a new 'dry sump' gearbox in the XE and F-Type. I've only driven one once and the shift was a bit clunky, but it has now improved. I'd try to find an XE 2.0 240 petrol manual. It's an excellent (Ford) chain cam engine that suits the car well.
