When I was at high school, one of my classmates in graphics had a deep blue Jaguar XJ for his first car. I will say, he was not the mechanically minded sort, I think you can read between the lines on that one, but his father was a mechanic. In this case, they replaced the big Jag inline-6 with a SOHC EF Falcon 4.0 and 4-speed auto. Arguably a backward step in terms of refinement, but at least it ran.
You’d struggle to beat that for a first car.
A series 2 XJ6 is on the list of cars I want to own. They look cleaner than Series 1 IMO.
When I was in basic training in the Navy one of our Leading Hand instructors had an XJ6. He was gay so many jokes floated around about him drilling trainees in the back seat and not the parade ground.
But I was reading up about them last week and his very car is used for a pic on wiki. Look good in red.
