New to Jags. New here too. Florida / Alaska
Hi to all. I am 61 and never owned a Jag till I bought my recent 1997 XK8 convertible. Read up on them and just had tensioners done , new sprockets , chains. Etc.
now I just have to fix the blown speakers. !!
Always wanted a vette when young - a Jag when older. Passed up a 1951 jag at auction in 1969 ( I just graduated from high school) dad said it would be too expensive if it broke down.
I bid it up to $1,500. And let it go. Sold for $1,850. Looked and ran great. I bought a new VW bug instead. Hahaha.
Oh well....

Welcome to the forum Mike,
Got one at last! Good to hear you've done the engine killing tensioners first.
You probably already know your way around here but if not, follow this link XK8 / XKR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the XK8/XKR section for help, advice and information.
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.
You can also visit the US Lower Atlantic Region section by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/lower-atlantic-nc-sc-fl-ga-66/ to find other members in FL.
Enjoy the forum.
