Hi All, Newbie XK8 Owner Here
Just a quick intro.
Just bought a 1997 XK8 Coupe in great condition and for very little money. There can't be a better way of getting more car for the £,$ etc. This is my third Jaguar over the years. The first was a Series 3 XJ6 about twenty years ago, then a late X300 XJR and after a break for around 7 years, now the XK8. When the XK8 came out back in '96 I thought I must have one of those when they become affordable and now they are certainly that!
So far I'm very happy, I just have a few minor issues to address, one or two of which I will probably be requesting some help with, so thanks in advance.
