I would also be all over an f type ..such a beautiful looking motor and although the brand might not have the kudos it once enjoyed there is still something special to me about the jaguar marque
Which weekender & why if you had £5k - £35k to spend
- Thread starter mr wilks
- Start date
my weekend car would probably be an M5 or an M6... oodles of power, but big and comfy, perfect for grand touring or a weekend away with the missus - she's not into low or sporty cars particularly.

Nothing as good as Z and you know it Andy! 
Off the top of my head....
Decent 996 C2S & Change for some nice shiny bits (suspension and bush overhaul, gt3 seats, alcantara wheel, motorsport alloys, decent brakes, LSD, GT3 aero...) :lol:
997.1 C2S + use the change on a Proper Warranty to cover the potential for bore scoring
997.2 C2S
Peugeot 205 1.9 GTi
E46 M3
Honda S2000
Cayman R (excellent investment if you ask me)
C63 AMG Wagon
E61 M5 (Touring - it has to be the wagon!)
Mazda RX7 (nice original one will hold its value well now)
With the notable exception of the Pork offerings you'd see plenty of change from your £35k max budget....
lucky boy - great position to be in - I'd look to get something sorted soon though - wont be long before the pre-spring price hike of sports cars, ahead of the spring rush! It's why I got my new MCoupe in December :lol:

A mate of mine has just bought a bog std 997 first gen , 11k for a 58ish plate car with 125k miles . There's still bargains out there . Even if it's a dog , it isn't on first inspection mind , the guy needed the money , he could fix it and have a great car for reasonable money .
For me it would be another vote for the F type,a v6s in budget (albeit rwd,as opposed to the AWD I would really want).
Also the GT-R is full of electrics,as well know,but it is brutal in its power delivery,and fairly easily tuneable.
3rd choice for me would be A nice GT3 RS,if you could get one in budget??

A gt3rs.... For 35k!!?!?! :lol: 996 gt3s start at 60k, 996 gt3rs' are trading for three times that! 997 gt3s are 80k+, and gt3rs are around 160k+...!!! I'd love a 996 gt3 but that's still too much money for me to tie up in an car at the moment 
doesn't stop the want - especially after being tossed the keys to a 997 4.0rs at a Goodwood Trackday... That engine.... That noise... Honestly driving perfection 
Also I think I must be the only person on the planet who thinks the f-type is nothing more than a shallow marketing exercise - a misty-eyed gallop through jaguar's former glory days, but with a whiff of comfy suspension, automatic gearboxes, incontinence pads and golf clubs.... It does absolutely nothing for me at all! And I'm sorry but that programmed exhaust flatulence is just way too much!

Awesome machine, although not sure if call it a sleeper with all those badges plastered over it!
when i had a 6 series that wouldn't go through the door opening 
Good to see a varying range of vehicles you would all like to own .
Aston Martins just not me , no matter which model i see little allure in them
& I can't get over seeing a Chrysler crossfire when i see the rear of those F types so no appeal there & anything with 4 doors doesn't strike me as a car to enjoy early morning blatts over the Lancashire moors & fells :wink:
Im going to watch the market closely whilst riding out the Brexit wave into April / May & see how things are , in the meantime the 265bhp Si coupe will see me right
