If you were using it regularly
It really shouldn't have been breaking down that often. Sounds like the "Jag Specialists" were rooting you. I drive a selection of "Old" and classic vehicles including a Series III Landrover. The only time that has given me serious problems (Apart from Standard Fit Solihull Rust) is Lucas Bloody Electrics. The Brummie Cunts decided to outsource distributor arms out to China. Bad Move. A large quantity were moulded out of double Fried smeg which went conductive after a couple of months. Really funny when you're on the motorway and the engine goes dead. I kept a handful of spares. Last time it happened, pop the hood, 2 clips take off the dizzy cap, pull off the rotor (Which fell apart) replace with new, start up and drive off.
Don't ask about fuel consumption mind you.

If you want a replacement classic, I'd strongly recommend something local. Nice Holden or similar. At least local mechanics will know what they are looking at (Or they can phone thier dad to explain it to them)
