As Disco_Mikey suggests, the 3.6TDV8 would be up there. Shame it's not on your poll as it's probably the sweet spot between decent grunt and fuel usage. The low down pull meant that it could live with the 4.2 in some in-gear situations. Obviously nowhere near in 0-60mph but who does "emergency starts" these days?

Bit the bullet and had a chat with a meerkat to see what renewing the insurance now would be for my 2005 4.2 SC.

Iv been slowly restoring mine, light at the end of the tunnel. The thing these have going for them is ulez compliant iv seen more and more supercharged rrs around my local area. Looking around prices are anything from 4.5k upwards. And yes I think they will become a classic. I had a P38 I fully restored but being a 4.6 wasn't ulez my L322 petrol isn't ulez so is in storage waiting on a new London tosser to scrap the tax zone.

i belive there are about 200 left ( early models 05-06 lower tax bracket ) in the UK, the only people buying seem to be the "green laners" who trash the cars & then scrap.
