Default First Jaguar - XFR

Hello, I'm the proud new owner of a 59 reg XFR. I love the car already. Chose the colour carefuly - indigo with ivory interior.
Previous car was a Lexus GS430, and before that a couple of Soarers - all lovely cars in their own way. I nearly went for a Lexus ISF - fantastic car - but a little small and uninspiring interior.
So that's me, will be on the forum gleaning tips and info.

Hello and welcome to the forum Andy,

Pleased you saw the light and made the right car choice this time with a good colour combination.

The '59 reg' will mystify the US members on the forum. Be interesting to see what comments that brings!

Graham

Thanks for the welcomes. 59 is the British number plate ageing ref - registered mid 2009.
I have my old short ageless number transferring to it in a couple of weeks. Really a tradition with me now - had the same plate for 12 years

I will put a picture up when I stop seeing the anti-spam "you do not have permission to access this page.....". I guess it will take a few more posts, hence this one!
