Default Hello from Lincoln - UK

Hi Chaps,
I've owned my XK8 since 2004, it's a 97 MY in original condition with 86K miles.
Over the years I have replaced (myself) the following to keep it on the road:

Front Wheel Bearings
Front Brake Discs & Pads
Driver Side Front Caliper rebuilt
Engine Primary & Secondary chains / tensioners
Water Pump
A/C Condenser
Serpentine Belt
Power Steering Pump
Plugs
Reconditioned Gearbox
Arial
