Just past three months with the XK8 and happier than ever. Being a used car it arrived with some small issues but these have now all been put to rest. Flushed the top hydraulics, fixed the passenger visor mirror, repaired the hole in the front bumper and painted it(not paying $2800.00 for a new one) got our PDR guy to take out a couple of minor dents and replaced the front lower close out panel and air deflectors. We now have a 1997 XK8 that everything works on and didn't look out of place at a exotic / sports show and shine among much more expensive vehicles. Just got back from its first highway run (out to Banff) and the car is amazing on the highway although it has to be on cruise because it's way too happy around a buck twenty five. Just received our Jaguar Production Record Trace Certificate and it turns out the car is actually Antigua Blue and not Sapphire as we first though. So all in all this is turning out to be a bunch of fun and we just could not be happier with the car

 

This thread is screaming out for photos - so I grabbed these from your garage!





I've had Sapphire Blue and Frost Blue XK8 Coupes. Antigua Blue looks especially good on the Convertible.

Great looking car!
