Default Glad to be part of this forum with my 99 XK8

Hi everyone,

This site has come up on just about every search I have completed when doing research before my purchase. I am new to Jaguars but fell in love with the car when I saw and test drove it. Its a 1999 XK8 with only 90k miles on it. It is in amazing condition but I only got to drive it a few times before the winter hit and I have it away in my garage until spring.

Looking forward to learning all about the joys and apparent problems now and again with the brand.

Thanks,

Bob 99 XK8

Welcome! You can spend countless hours this winter sitting in it in your garage "getting a feel" for the car. By Spring you will know the location of all the controls and won't be distracted when you finally get her out on the road.

Welcome to the forums Bob. I hope you get to drive your Jaguar again soon. I can't imagine not being able to drive mine around.

In Manchester I'd say Precision Imports would be your best bet, they have a good reputation and have done some good work on our XF.

Many mentioned in the following thread also:

Feel free to give us a call and we may be able to look on our database for somewhere nearer to you.

Welcome Bob,
lots of us waiting for the snow to melt and the salt to wash away before we get behind the wheel again. I spend a lot of time in New England during the spring and summer, I'll wave
