G’Day from down under..

Hi All,
Been perusing this forum for many years, but finally decided to join in. Thank you for accepting me and I look forward to sharing what little knowledge I have whilst expanding my own data base with countless years of knowledge and experience these forums bring to other like minded enthuisiasts.
As a long time member of JagLovers and the E-Type forums, I find the information being shared, absolutely invaluable with maintaining both my XJC and E-Type.
I’m now considering purchasing a 2007 XKR Portfolio (1 of only 10, that made their way down here to Oz) and this forum appears to have a lot members that are active with these X150’s. So looking forward to getting some of the good oil on this model, sort of speak.

Cheers;

Welcome to the forum John,

As a long time lurker, you won't need any links from me.

You already have two of the best models Jaguar produced and I don't think you'd be disappointed with an XKR.

Hi again all,
just thought to provide a quick update as I have finally taken possession of my new 2007 XKR Portfolio in Celestial Black, which is an amazing colour especially when the sun hits it! The dark blue colours just pop, but it does show the dust, requiring a wash and clean down at the end of each day. Really great drivers car with 70,000km on the clock.
Having said that, my possession was only short lived as it had to go back to get a front end vibration issue sorted. This turned out to require new brake pads, so as to match the new Alcon discs that were fitted earlier and an out of round wheel, that needs to be fixed. Should hopefully get her back in the next few days. Some snaps of Stella, below.
