Maybe I'm telling you something you already know, but unless you are a mechanic and particularly good with electrical systems you might want to stay clear of British sports cars.
Every one I have ever known that got that itch to own a British car didn't keep it long and never purchased a second one.
Before we all had cell phones a friend of mine would never take his POS Jag for a ride unless he could find somebody to follow him.
If you still want one, there are always lots of British sports cars for sale on ebay.

I think Boston Whaler summed it up pretty good. These little British sports cars look great in the driveway but they don't usually make it to far from home without a towing truck getting involved. Most of them have the undercarriage rust out before they get very old. If anything, I would consider the newer Jags. They are much more reliable than the older ones and are less prone to rusting.
