Just joined and picked up my 2004 XK8 convert 03/16/17. Graphite gray, nav system(a negative but you take what is on it), 19" wheels, Alpine system. 61k. Southerner as is obvious by name. Retired environmental engineer,
Previous vehicles include 2 MGB's 1964 & 1973. Raced Abarth Allemano Spyder and Spitfire(SCCA) in '60's, Legend Cars 1995-2000.
Most thankful for-my wife of 48+ yrs and conversion to Eastern Orthodox Christianity

Most Stupid Act-sold my 1955 300SL Gullwing in1973 for$14,500.

Looking forward to help in keeping my new prize in good shape. Other than headrest grind and tilt on wheel most everything else operational. Cosmetics are outstanding. CA &a southern car, looks like garages. No fading and leather is fine.

Welcome to the forum Orthodixie,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can see you've already found your way to the XK8/XKR forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information 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.

You can also visit the US Southern Midwest Region forum by following this link US Southern Midwest - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Welcome.

OOPS on that Gullwing, but others have probably done worse.
