Wow us with your XK8/R photos-image.jpg
Heading to the JCNA concours event today in North Carolina (90% rain ) so I'll post a few pics of my engine and car since it looks like I won't be opening the bonnet or top!

Interior and fascia. Really bites about the rain. Car looks best with top down!

And the car! I'll say, if you ever want to get your Jaguar in immaculate condition, enter a concours. I never knew how many little bits were missing or damaged. I must have replaced 30 little bits over the whole car. Plastic tabs, screws, cracked caps, but it was worth it!! Like driving a new car!!

Trophy or not, with the amount of time and work you have put into your car and the amazing results you are a winner. Your car is a beauty Philef

A trophy - I'm delighted they gave you something to polish because the car certainly doesn't need it.

Congratulations, Phil. A huge amount of preparation work and a worthy result.
