Hi all,

I've just purchased a new (to me) Jaguar XK8 4.2 of late 2002 vintage. Beautiful convertible in black, only missing option is the heated seats!

Pick it up this Saturday, and can't wait!

I'm used to owning needy cars, the last everyday being an RX8, and always have been a classic car owner. The garage currently has a lovely MG Midget in it, definitely a Brit car enthusiast.

Anyway just wanted to introduce myself and ask for any helpful advice on keeping my new pride and joy in tip top condition, if anyone has any gems of knowledge please feel free to share, or any reference I should read anywhere?

Safe roads all,

James

Welcome to the forum James,

Good advice above.

Only about 36 hours to go until you get your hands on the XK8. It's going to seem like a very long Friday!
