Clash of the classics: Jaguar XK8 V Aston Martin DB7 - Classic Cars for Sale
Both are brilliant on the road, as you’d expect of Jaguar and Aston Martin. The supercharged 3. 2 litre straight six is the pick of the bunch, delivering shattering performance and a supercharger howl, or serene like motoring, just depending upon your mood. The XK8’s is softer and less ruffling, and the steering is lighter. Pretty decent DB7s can be had for £15,000, and absolutely mint ones can be bought for £25,000. Prices are beginning to pick up though, so if you want to buy one, better do it now. In fact, they’re pretty much as low as they’re going to get. £5000 will buy a very nice early example, and they can be had for even less if you’re willing to get your hands dirty. Convertible versions attract a price premium, 25-30% for the Jaguar, and nearer 40% for the Aston Martin. Source: www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk
