Good day and hello to all.

Hi, I'm Mark, and the picture shows my pride and joy, a 2006 XK8 4.2S in Jaguar Racing Green Metallic, which I absolutely fell in love with at a recent classic car auction in the UK. Unfortunately for my wife, I seem to have got the bug and very quickly also added a 1997 XK8 4.0 (and then another one, but don't tell her!) These are cars that I could only dream of affording not so many years ago, let alone when they were new.

I will be enjoying spending my spare time with them over the coming months, although one of '97's is going to take a while before being road-worthy. I'm looking to put the later 2005+ bumpers and sills on that one before it goes for paint. If anyone can point me in the direction of a good second hand front bumper I'd be really grateful. (I have managed to find a late rear bumper and the sill covers.) Looking forward to many years of happy Jaguar ownership to come.

Best wishes

Mark
