That isn't to say it is a bad car, but it also doesn't sit in with "the best" cars. For some one wanting a quirky bit of super car history it isn't a bad choice.
Its primary claim as a reason to own it is rarity, rather than anything inherent to the car itself. Unless you really like the Jaguar brand.

Give it a break.
The car is over 25 year old! The C5 only 20... others even newer.
When it was built, it was amazing and NOTHING else could touch it. Fastest production car in the world, AT THE TIME.
