Hello, Jaguar Enthusiasts! Found my XK after 2 years of searching for the right model (4.2 base XK) color (Botanical Green) and low mileage (36k). Bought November, 2025, in Chantilly, VA. Needed suspension repairs to pass MD inspection, plus new tires and a full set of OEM (used) wheels, and then more work on the suspension (oh, well). Only change from original is 10" wheels. Spent the snow storm in January reconditioning the paint and ceramic coating - looks amazing (not like an 18-yr-old car). Occasional electrical "gremlins" but no problems as long as I keep it on 2-amp battery charger. Love that I NEVER see this car on the road.
I think the wheel size is a typo, hopefully Edit is still active so you can sort that one.
Good looking beast.
Thanks! Sorry about the Typo and cannot edit. It gets harder every day to be perfect!! Got a copy of the window sticker and car originally came with 18" wheels. I'm 3rd owner and someone replaced those with 19" chrome (or reconditioned) wheels that pitted and peeled by the time they got to me - photo attached - so the first thing I did was find a set of four OEM 19" wheels on eBay. It's illegal in MD to chemically strip chrome, by the way. The replacements have some curb damage but look pretty good.
If you haven't done so already you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

Great color combo
