Well i finally came to my senses and purchased a 2000 XK8 it needs some cosmetic TLC but mechanically all the high dollar items on a 80,000 mile XK have been replaced by the previous owner with all receipts.
A joy to drive and appears to want to be driven fast at all times , issues with envy as my Man cave has a 67 Frogeye and a 74 MGB hogging the space , one of them has to go soon .
Any feedback on preffered vendors as i,m starting from scratch and ive found that the MG suppliers that ive used for years dont have didly for XK8,s !
Live in Katy Texas originally came from a small island in the Atlantic that nearly came second in a rather large war back in the forties !
