How to Buy a Classic Jaguar

It has often been said that you need two Jaguars: one for the shop and one to drive. Finding an inexpensive Jaguar isn't all that difficult; finding one in good condition will take some patience but will be worth it in the long run.

Instructions

1

Consider an XK-120 if you want the classic Jaguar style. Built from 1949 to 1954, these cars established Jaguar as a builder of fine sports-touring cars.

2

Look into getting an E-type for one of the most stunning cars ever built. After all, this car is in the Museum of Modern Art. Available in both a coupe and convertible, the car first came with a straight 6 cylinder and later a V-12. These cars were built from 1961 to 1974. Of course, the convertible V-12 cars are the most valuable.

3

Consider an XJ-6 for what many consider to be the most elegant sedan ever built. Enjoy full leather interior and a walnut dashboard for less than the price of a Honda Civic. These cars were built from 1968 to 1987. The two-door hardtops and V-12 cars (called the XJ-12) are especially sought-after.
