Agree, Bernard. I've owned many Jags over the years (mostly V12's, E's and XJ's) and surprisingly I still have lots more pleasure from driving and owning a Rover V8. I've still got 4 regular 75 V6's and love them all.
Problems? Yes, there are -- you've seen all the threads here, I assume! But S-types have them a plenty, not to mention their incredible thirst, and there are thousands and thousands of them.
As ever it's a question of going with your head or your heart.
Your head would send you to the Skoda or Kia showroom.
MG 260 or Rover V8? Depends what you want. If you are happy with owning and driving ANY auto car, then you've mentally crossed that bridge and I think you may be better off with a R75, like me. Outside of that, excluding S/C cars, they're essentially the same, although the Rovers are much rarer of course and potentially more valuable in the long run. Plus it may have been driven like a Rover not an MG (sorry guys; I'm sure I'll get lots of agro about that!). Mine has 200,000 miles on the clock and still going strong.
