New to Jaguar and the forum to learn about these cars, particularly the 1996 - 2005 XK / XKR. Lifelong automobile enthusiast and racer.
My wife and I are enamored with the XK / XKR. We are considering a nice collectible car fits in with us; she prefers the convertible and I prefer the coupe, but either is fine. The car will be used on weekend trips and sunny days, and have appropriate storage and maintenance.
Racing background most recently is in SCCA running a 2006 Mustang in Touring 4. Photo attached. Between race cars right now; not sure what might be next.
The goal is to increase knowledge of the XK / XKR where we can make a wise purchase. Other than the plastic tensioner / timing chain issue and convertible top hydraulics, they appear to be reasonably solid cars.
The 1996-2005 steel bodied two door (factory code X100) is the XK8/XKR. The XK/XKR (factory code X150) is the aluminium bodied two door which superseded it and was in production from 2006-2014.
