Welcome to the forum,

You'll find plenty of advice on XK8 / XKR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum section but the lowest cost way has to be trade it for an XKR.

No, sell it and buy an XKR.

Welcome to the forum.

Good to have you with us.

You won't get much more out of the XK8 without moving into a caravan. Aim for an XKR sometime down the road.

Welcome to the forum,

Good to have you with us.
I vote for an XKR also.

You should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.
