Will be up there with the depreciation winners.
Like the Project 7 which list at £130k are now listed at £170k

like the XKR-S GT which list at £130k are now £150k

only 300 worldwide to be made, prob 30 to the UK ...

B9 RS4 ?

That's not exactly GT3 mark up.

If they sell them all I reckon they'll be doing well.

Just don't float my boat. JLR got a way to go to play with the big boys.

Piss n' slippers.

they produced 250 P7's and they were nervous at that number, in the end they could have sold double

they will easily sell 300 of these across the whole wide world ....

Big Boys? They've spent over 50 years trying to get the 911 right, then just when it got there, Porsche decide to stick crap engines in them.

In the 70's, Jag's E-type was 'the' car to have and not a Beetle coupe. Imagine if Jaguar spent 50 years evolving the original flat floor, I'd reckon that'd be rather tasty.

The balance sheet would seem to indicate who got it right there.

Porsche didn't decide which engines to put in, regulation forced it. The 3L turbo is actually OK. Not tried the 718, monkey still reckons is the best in class.

However, we were talking XE, I'd not chose it over ze Germans.

Arches all day long👍👍

Can't stand subtle performance cars, Amg style where you can't tell the Diesel from the halo model.

I think on TG he said the Boxster is still best in class because there is no decent competition in the class. The current Boxster S is what £50k now otr plus options? For £55/60k, I'd rather take a used R8 V10 with 20k on the clock. Proper engine!

When shopping in that sector, Monkey decided to put his own money into a BMW 1M and get an Akrapovic exhaust with Litchfield tune done.

Says it all really.
