Hello All and an Early Happy New Year.

I recently took ownership of a 1997 Jaguar XK8 4.0lt V8. Dark Blue with cream leather interior. approx. 65k I will post a photo in the new year. I live in Essex in the Uk

In the Family my Dad also own's an Jaguar XJR V8 and we have Restored a 1977 Daimler series 2 =leftSovereign 4.2 coupe 2 Door. ( will also post photo in new year).

Looking forward to keeping up to date with what's going on in the forums here and hope to help if possible and receive help when needed.

Happy New Year,

Doug

Welcome to the forum Doug,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

A 1997 with a 4.2 litre engine - has it had a transplant?

I know 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 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 UK & Eire Region forum by following this link
https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-eire-68/ to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
