The Jaguar is a looker, but this is a better car if you can get past how bland it looks and it's a hell of a lot of car for the money.

A Bristol body on this cars running gear would be a S6 and more ! Can anyone build me one ?

2003 VOLKSWAGEN PHAETON 6.0 W12 4MOTION LWB 4DR [5 SEAT] AUTO SUPERB BARGA

It may even work out cheaper if the holes line up.

I looked at one two months ago, a diesel. I nearly bought it. For once I
let my head rule! The write ups however were poor with horrendous
maintenance cost and complications. Bought an E class instead and so far
very happy

I have the E320 diesel estate and it is the best practical car I have ever had and not much slower than my old S600 !

Amazing car and the same engine goes in the Chrysler so maybe ?..... No that would be too sensible :-)

Not necessary, Bentley already builds such a car. It's called the Continental GT.
