New member looking fo help
Hi,
I am a life long fan of Jags ever since my father had a beautiful Mark 10 back in the 60's and I am preparing to buy my first Jag, too many years later.
I am a Brit and will be using my Jag in France most of the time and I have decided on the XK8 2005/6 convertible which best suits the climate.
My dilema is whether to buy and import a Jag from the US, where there seems to be greater choice and more muscle for your money, or buy a French registered, or possibly Italian, car but these used European cars hold a very high resale value. Buying UK RHD is not a suiatbale option.
Does anybody out there have any valuable experience they could help me with?
Purchase will be second quarter 2011 and I am raring to go!

Welcome to the forum,
I can't give much advice on your query, but I wouldn't have thought there would be much benefit in imports from the US after all the costs were added, I've been wrong before.
