Default New member seeking knowledge

I'm at that time in my life of fulfilling dreams and passions. 1st it was ocean front property, check out casaflamboyan.com. Then it was a cruising sailboat. I found and rehabbed a 1996 Gemini Catamaran, sailing her for many years sharing with friends around Isla Mujeres, MX selling her in 2016. Now I on to another long time dream of a Jaguar XK, as I am moving to a house with an extra garage for her.

SO THE QUANDARY OF WHAT TO BUY? I know I want burgundy with a tan interior and top. What year and how much to invest? I like the clean lines of the older models and maybe the simplicity, but want reliability. Should I go for the XKR?

Help me find my car to love and cherish.

Welcome to the forum mxsailor,

(I've deleted your other two identical Intro threads)

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

The Jaguar steel bodied XK8 was manufactured from 1996 to 2006 and the aluminium bodied XK was manufactured 2006-2014. Both models also had supercharged XKR versions. With any used Jaguar, a comprehensive history and careful pre-purchse inspection is essential.

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xk8-xkr-x100-17/ to the XK8/XKR forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. Follow this one https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xk-xkr-x150-33/ to the XK/XKR forum.

You can also visit the US Lower Atlantic Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/usa-lower-atlantic-nc-sc-fl-ga-66/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
