Greetings

I am new to the forum and am in the process of buying an 06 XK8 convertible.
I have owned a couple other Jag's, a 68 XKE convertible and a 61 Mark II sedan.

I had a ball in the XKE and think the XK8 & R series have the same timeless
style.

Russ

Cool

Welcome! I'm a noob here too. I've never had a Jag, but i've been learning about them and shopping around lately. I'm using Used Car Search Engine, Craigslist & Dealerships - Carsabi to find mine because it searches all the craigslists and the dealerships. I recommend it if you haven't found one yet. Anyway hope you get your car soon. You'll definitely enjoy the forums. There's a great crowd here.

Welcome Russ,

Congrats on the imminent arrival or your XK8 convertible. You won't be disappointed as it's XKE and more so.

Thanks for all the kind words, I cant wait to be driving a Jaguar again. I think owning one takes a special kind of personality. Most guys go out and buy some kinda high powered pocket rocket but Jag owners have an eye for beauty and also a seance of the past.

Welcome to the forum. Agree who wants a high pwered rocket .?

The lines are truly timeless and very elegant, and more as with the wood all around it becomes more a desirable classic car, yet with modern technology (and safety).


Am sure you will enjoy the forum, hope you can enjoy your new ride soon!

I just picked up the car last night and is it ever sweet. It is an 06 XK8 with 30,300 miles Quartz outside and Dove/Charcoal inside. The only downside was no manuals or keyfobs.

I downloaded all the manuals off the Jag website but cannot locate the Navigation manual.
