New to me 1999 Jaguar XKR 4.0 (Japanese Import)
Hi all,
Quick (re) introduction. I've been lurking the forum since purchasing my 1953 XK120 a few years ago, but it is time for a new Jag - so I am in the last stages of purchase on a 1999 Jaguar XKR 4.0 Coupe. This is an original Japan car in Carnival Red Mica, imported to the UK in 2015, and mostly kept in storage since then.
Now just to add some flavour to buying a new Jag - the Jag is in the UK, and I am in Australia! Will be flying out in July to pick up the car, do a tour of Scotland, and then drop it off to ship back to Australia. Easy, huh?
I'm finding specific details on Japan spec XKRs a little hard to come by. I was worried at first when I noticed the door tag only has the VIN and trim codes, no weights or build code, but from what I see online, this was normal for the Japanese cars. Would love to hear from any other owners of original Japanese XK8/XKRs...
Also looking for any Jag-related sights to visit in Scotland while we're touring!
Cheers,
Chris.

Hello, Chris,
Congratulations on your Latest Jaguar!
Many buyers travel distances to buy their Jaguar but I think you take the Long Distance prize!
