Default Hello from Birmingham (UK)

Hi, i join the forum as a potential XK owner, looking to replace my BMW M coupe with what will be my daily drive, being a home worker and also driving a Saab convertible and classic mini 1275 GT, it won't see a lot of mileage.
I have around 10k to find a car hopefully with detailed history, 2000+, well cared for, less than 60k miles, preferably XKR, parking sensors, if that is possible !
Never owned a Jag before but i love the XK lines and I can't find another car that matches it for looks and prestige for the price, having owned several BM's its time for a change !
I will be looking to the forum for buying advise, what i should look out for on a car of that age/mileage, reputable indy specialists in the West Midlands area, and will look forward to contributing to the forum where I can.

Thanks, Paul.

Welcome to the forum.

We are a primarily US based forum so the UK advice may be sparse, but as Esther Rantzen used to say "if anybody knows different" I could be wrong.

Steely,
Yes it is possible to find what you are looking for, but will take a lot of searching.

Bob

Welcome to the forum.

Good luck with your search.

Be interesting to see if you can find a decent XKR for under 10k.
