Hi there, I am questing for a well cared for XK8 as I transition from decades of sports car ownership and ease into my grand touring years. Aka, I am getting older and appreciate a quiet convertible with supportive seats.

I appreciate the wealth of information on the forums and the contributions of your members!

Wish me luck on my quest...

Gary

Good morning Elinor, thank you for the kind welcome. Hoping you have a beautiful drive in your plans today.

 

Hey Elinor.... silly question... I have seen "vert" a number of times in the forum... what is the meaning of vert?

And any tips as I begin my quest for an XK8?

 

And thanks Grant... I am working very hard on denial... lol

Welcome to the forums.

 

Thank you Graham... I have owned a number of convertibles and never heard that term used... must not be a Canadian translation... lol. As French is one our languages here vert equals green... I was thinking it might be connected to British racing green... occasionally I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer!

 

Thank you 01xjr
I have lots to learn!

 

welcome to the forum - good luck in your quest - enjoy!!!

 

Thank you Sklimii, that Sapphire Blue looks beautiful!
