Default Hi from Newbury in Berkshire UK

My passion for Jaguars started when I bought my first one in the 60’s it was a 3.4 Mk V111 and over the years I have had a 2.4 Mk1,3.8 Mk2.XJ6,XJ40,3.2 X300 and another 3.2 X300 as well as a V12 E-Type that I had restored from the ground up. I also purchased a XJ6 Coupe for rainy days so I didn’t have to get the E-Type wet. I replaced the X300 with a 3.2 X308 then I sold the E-Type.
I then went over to the dark side with a TVR I had that for 3 years and after a few bottom clenching moments it was time to sell and go back to my first love Jaguar in the shape of a 4.0 XK8 convertible this seemed a little slow after the TVR so last June I part exchanged it for the 2002 MY XKR convertible that I run now.

Welcome Roy,

Quite a past history of Jaguar ownership.

Just guessing, but I don't think you've been out to take that photo of the XKR today.

Welcome to the forum Roy,

Good to have you with us.
That's quite a history, you might have to dig out some old snaps for us.

P.S. It's lovely here again today!
