Here are 22 cylinders of used car glory for under £16k

Bargain hunting for the ultimate two-car garage? We’ll save you the search with this Audi S8 V10 and Jaguar XJS V12 pairing, which could land on your driveway tomorrow for a combined fee of £15,995. That’s a lot of cylinders for what you’d spend on a new Hyundai i10.

Starting with the Audi, its classy black exterior comes with 20in twin-spoke alloys, quad-exhaust tailpipes and a chequered grille. Though the Lamborghini-derived V10 is the party piece: 444bhp, 398lb ft, 0-62mph in 5.1s and a top speed of 155. Brisk.

It’s a good showing inside too with bits of carbon trim, a tech-filled infotainment unit and many buttons to adjust comfort and drive settings. In short, a wonderful mile-muncher for long weekday commutes and the perfect double-act for a weekend toy.

Moved by a mammoth 6.0-litre V12, the numbers for the Jag are… not that bad: 0-62mph in 6.6s and 161mph flat out. But speed isn’t its forte, design is. Silver body and alloys, plus-size bonnet and smoked-out taillights, this is the ideal way to float around the Cotswolds in style and at pedestrian pace during those do-not-disturb Sunday afternoons.

Upkeep will of course be the thorn with these two, likely costing a fair bit more than yer little Hyundai. But skip past this minor inconvenience and keep them routinely serviced, and this pair represents a 22-cylinder bargain. Go on, make it happen.
