XJ8 4.0 V8 1999 New Member
Hello everybody.
I'm taking delivery of my first Jaguar this week. A 4.0 V8 XJ8 1999 model.
Did as much homework and research as was possible and armed with a long list of 'things to look out for' I test drove and inspected it throughout.
A very good example, inside, outside and underneath... and it drove like silk.
At 26 years old nothing is perfect of course and in the coming months and years I expect to be dealing with the various considerations and issues that come with owning and driving a high-performance car of this type. Still, they truly are a delight to have and I'm looking forward to swapping notes here in the near future.
I am also interested in attending get-togethers, club nights and meets etc for owners of similar vehicles. I am based near SW London and North Surrey. If anyone can point me in the right direction re dates and locations it would be much appreciated.
With thanks and best regards.

Jaguar Clubs
Hi,
Suggest you join the Jaguar Drivers Club (JDC) and/or Jaguar Enthusiasts Club (JEC). They both have "area" clubs who meet regularly - I'm sure you will find
one close to you.
Enjoy.
