In the video, Jonny says that all the vehicles he mentions "offer great luxury for the money."
Range Rover L322 Autobiography

One example is the Range Rover L322 Autobiography - which offers a very high-class driving experiene for its second-hand price tag.
Jonny explains: “The Autobiography line within the Jaguar Land Rover Group is generally their most luxurious spec, and though the L322 Range Rover is pretty old at this point it still offers a pretty insane level of luxury.”
This Range Rover boasts a 4.4-litre twin turbocharged V8 engine, but it’s what's inside what counts here.

This range comes with a luxurious finish as well as decent technology for quite an old car, with later models boasting rear seats that come with an entertainment package.
Then there's Ultimate Edition, which includes two iPads as well as a metal laptop desk, electric reclining seats and even a mini fridge.
Skoda Superb L&K

Another option that made Jonny;s list which is perhaps a surprise name to many is Skoda, with their aptly named Superb L&K.
This special edition model, which comes with Skoda's Laurin & Klement spec - that means its extra luxurious (similar to Ghia with Ford) - can be bought for as little as £3,000, although £10,000 is enough for a high-mileage 2016 example.

Jonny said: “The trim and finish in these is above anything you would expect in a Skoda - including nice leather with embroidery and all the rest.

“Plus you get umbrellas in the doors like a Rolls-Royce.”
Jaguar XJ (X351)

Dubbed "one of the best to drive as well as just being driven around in", the Jaguar XJ X351 is a simply brilliant all-rounder.
Jonny said: “It’s been luxurious enough to be the car used by multiple Prime Ministers in its bomb proof Sentinel spec - in fact all of them from David Cameron to Boris Johnson.”
It features a 3.0-litre twin turbocharged V6 engine which make 271bhp and a 0-60mph acceleration in 6.2 seconds, but, like with the Range Rover, it's what's inside that really counts here.
Maserati Ghibli
7
The latest iteration of the Maserati Ghibli has been around since 2013 and mixes the pleasures of a grand tourer with the typical performance of a turbocharged coupe.
However, Jonny admits that £10,000 is the minimum that drivers will be able to find a second-hand Ghibli for, and added: “You'll be getting a 2014 model with 100,000 miles on the clock for that kind of money.
“That's not bad for an executive saloon from a more luxurious or exotic manufacturer like Maserati, even if they are known for their depreciation.”
Lexus LS 600H
7
Built to take on the Mercedes S-Class, Lexus' LS 600H - produced between 2006 and 2017 - was once one of the most expensive sedans produced in Japan.
Jonny describes the LS 600H as "one of the most impressive cars to have come out of the Tahara plant", adding that "it was so good as a luxury car that it was selected as an open top model for the wedding of Albert II Prince of Monaco back in 2011."
The LS 600H comes with a "wafty" V8, 5,0-litre powertrain that can produce 439 bhp, and can start at around £5,000 with £10k enough for a 2010 model with 100,000 miles on the clock.
This comes as a haul of luxury motors worth £6million - including a McLaren, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Ferrari and Lamborghini - have been seized by police in a crackdown on boy racers using roads in London as a "racetrack".
The Metropolitan Police removed more than sixty supercars from capital city last week alongside five arrests.
And elsewhere, a car expert has warned that two manufacturers that were once a common sight on UK roads could soon disappear.
