Interesting little video with a mention of the 75 in comparison.

I have driven both, the Rover has a more quality feel to it, however the Jag has engine options that I would love in my Rover.

The Jag is the car you would drive to the golf course for a spot of lunch, or to the post office with a sawn-off.
The Rover is the car you would drive the memsahib in for a spot of lunch. The 3.0L V6 Ford petrol in the S type is a robust yet powerful engine, not to mention the V8 option. So I agree with the above post about engines. |

I've learned recently that premium brand cars are very expensive to repair and my project ZT is proving far less expensive to get up to standard.
I'll stick with the ZT. Sent from my POT-LX1 using Tapatalk

Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio that came in for a new rear bumper, the first bumper came incorrect as it was for a standard Giulia and cost £1600, it was sent back and 3 weeks later the correct Quadrifoglio bumper arrived costing £4100 that's just for the bare bumper shell and the 2nd was an Infiniti Q70 that came in for a new passenger door mirror at a cost of ..... £2.5k! Just for the mirror that's without painting and fitting. Some of the prices of car parts are absolutely hideous.

So explains the exorbitant cost of insurance and adds to the long trail of associated beneficiaries of falling fruit from the Car Repair Tree. Every new car should come with estimated current costs for minor bumps and scrapes, so the level of current 'write off' values is made public. These values are fictitious built-in charges, way beyond their true values.
