YANM - '09 XF 5.0 V8 Portfolio (UK)

Hello All :icon_biggrin:

Simon here from the UK. A couple of months back I became the proud owner of a 2009 XF Portfolio 5.0 NA V8 which as I understand is a rare beast this side of the pond (one of the 68 registered 5.0 NA V8 Portfolios in these here isles).

From what I gather it was an ex-Jaguar fleet car, and so it is pretty highly spec'ed.

I've browsed around here on occasion and thought it about time that I register, share pictures of the car and ask questions.

I've also had the joy of driving a fully spec'ed XJ (V6S diesel) as a courtesy car (someone ran into my XF after only two weeks of having it :icon_cry: luckily it was light damage). The XJ was awesome, but I was glad to have my V8 beauty back.

Thanks,

Simon

Ha - I did surreptitiously check some other new user posts when I was composing mine. Saved sig after posting but looks like it doesn't get applied retroactively.

Oh dear - I've missed the currently planned UK meetups by a month. Hopefully there'll be another in the south of England soon! Cheers for the pointer.

Thanks,

Simon
