Hi all,
Just wanted to say hello.

I just picked up an incredibly beautiful 1998 XK8 in magnificent condition with 40k miles.
All service done, including tensioners and any other "typical issues".

I'll be hanging around here, as I get acquainted with some of the finer features of this instant classic.

Welcome to the forum Anthony,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

Looks close to bottoming the exhaust as you drive into your garage!

The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

So my 17 year old daughter sees the car today...

Quote of the day:

"Dad, you do realize you bought a "chick-car"?
Dads don't drive white convertibles.
