Default New member intro

Hi All

Just thought id introduce myself as im new to all this! My names John from Southampton and currently own a1999 XK8 convertible in white.

Just a question!! has anyone answered the question on how many cars were made in each colour im curious to know if white is rare.(forgive me if this has already been answered but if so can you point me in the right direction)

Look forward to speaking to you all in the coming years for advice etc.

Welcome to the forum,

Good to have you with us.
I think white should be even rarer, but that's just me, others will disagree?
Sounds like you have signed on to the car for the long haul!

If you haven't already done so you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

Hi John,

Welcome to the site. Here's a direct link to the XK8 area, possibly you could post your question there for greater visibility

Welcome to the forum.

Good to see you.

White must be rare. Can't recall seeing one.

Welcome to the forum!

I do not have any stats, but I believe most of the white ones were exported. There are a few here in the states, but I would guess considerably less than 5%.

Welcome to the forum,

White is a very rare body colour for XK8's in the UK. The only place you're likely to find an answer to numbers produced is JDHT (Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust).
