Default Trading XK for XK-R

Hi everyone. I'm a new member from Manchester, UK. I am about to trade my black XK convertible for a white XK-R convertible (with black speed and body packs). I'm not too sure about the colour change but I should like the increased power.

Welcome to this very friendly Forum.
Everything you need to know is available in the XKR section.
But, will you like the increased power? In the words of the Irritating Nodding Dog, "Oh, Yes!"
Kicking this thing down in sports mode is the nearest to taking off in a military aircraft that most people will ever get - and the sound of that turbocharger......

Welcome to the forum,

Good to have you with us.
I think we need a pic! The colour will grow on you.

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

Thanks Jim, good to hear from Scotland - I was born in Dundee but have sadly lost my accent.
I get my XKR tomorrow and this will be the eighth different Jag model that I have had over the years. Is this a record?

Bill
