Hello Everyone, I have been viewing this forum for a couple months while doing research before purchasing an XK8. Thank you all so much for sharing your experience and knowledge. I recently took the plunge and purchased a 2000 XK8 Coupe in the dark green color with an oatmeal interior that has 56,000 miles. I bought it from the original owner with complete service records. I look forward to contributing to the forum as I can. Thanks again, Brad

Hello, how are you? Is the car in the picture the one you bought? On my screen it looks black does it also look that dark in person? Your hard top XK8 looks a lot better than our convertible.

Hey Unex, yes the image is the car I bought. In low light it does look black but, it's really the factory dark green color. Thanks for the compliment. I do love the coupes.

Welcome to the forum Brad,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums. That is a rare and very desireable provenance for an eighteen year old Jaguar.

You have clearly 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.


Enjoy the forums.

Graham
