Hi Jamie,
A 2001 will be a P38 - so you have a choice of 2.5 diesel, or 4.0 or 4.6 V8 petrols. The 2.d and 4.0 come in SE (DSE) and HSE (DHSE) form, the 4.6 only in HSE. Then you have a world of special editions inc the Vogue, Autobiography's (some are barely any better than an HSE, some have extensive specs), etc etc.
Or, go for a Classic which is, err, classically more classy IMO, less complicated, but older too!

The P38 is nicer to ride in but the Classic is more fun and simpler. But they do rot. Everywhere.
The Vogue was a special edition initially when the P38 came out but after a couple of years or so I think just became the top model as it was on the Classic. I'm not sure how much difference there was between the HSE and Vogue though. I don't think a vast amount. I have a book somewhere if you need more details.

He's right - the P38 does ride better, guessing it must be the air suspension, but whereas I bought a Classic as a sturdy witner vehicle, my boss has bought a P38! It is a bit smoother, but then I imagine a Classic with air suspension feels very similar. Personally, I'm glad I went with a Classic - I could have afforded a P38 if I wanted one, but I like the Classic shape and have always wanted one of those. Might change it for a 4.6 HSE on LPG in a year or so's time, but for now I'm enjoying it and looking forward to winter!!
