Default Bought an XK8 as my first car!

Hi everyone, I'm 18 years old and had my eyes on a used 2000 XK8 for a while and decided to go for it. Of course it comes with a few problems but that's to be expected as the car is 20 years old. I'll be using these forums as a guide to help me get her in tip top shape. Wish me luck!

Welcome to the Forums.

Looks good from down here.

My 1st car was a 1954 MK VII Jaguar, and it was 14 years old when I stole it.

Good luck.

Welcome. I'm a bit jealous. Oh the fun I could have had in a convertible at that age.
