I am near Russellville, I have a 2000 XK8 Carnival Red, tan top with 40k mi, had it since Dec, I love it !

 

Great to see Arkansas represented a little more. I'm just outside Maumelle, with a 95 XJS and 85 XJ6. Keith Hodges.

 

Hello from the Bull Shoals lake region of Arkansas..just got our 97 convertible about 5 weeks ago and found this site..looking forward to enjoying the vehicle and the site..

 

Hi I'm from Monticello, the southeast part of the state. I just brought my first Jaguar XK 2007

 

thank you for the welcome and you own a great ride as well..i was all ready to buy a vette..but i stumbled across my 97 with 50080 miles when i found it..i should have had someone check it out because it was in Dallas long story short.and bought sight untested..there are some problems..but i think in time i will sort them out and have a super ride as well..

 

Hello Keith ..Jerry here in the Mountain Home region..talked to a lady the other day whose hubby bought her a 99 XK8..mine is a 97 XK8..so more cars are popping up all the time..

 

mine is champagne with tan cloth top..gave it a wet look wax job last week and it looks super..but i think the jag is just a classic/classy car..all of them..glad we bought one even if it is a 97XK8

 

Hello fellow Arkansans. I just the joined Forum today to try and find a good mechanic in Arkansas. I live in Hot Springs and have a 2001 XKR with just 37,000 miles. This week the top failed to go up and I'm leaking what appears to be power steering fluid. She doesn't seem to like the cold snap we just got. Can anyone suggest a good mechanic in the area? I'm short on time to do my own work lately and need to get my car fixed and the top fixed and back up soon. The top was fully service 2 years ago in Indianapolis to fix the know problems with a $2,700 bill but came with a one year warranty.

Thanks for any advice and I look forward to using this Forum frequently.

 

Traded my '07 Harley Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Classic for '07 Jaguar S-Type R (Radiance red) over in Tulsa Oklahoma on August 17th.
Only issue thus far is rust on the rear rotor caps.
Paris, Arkansas is the gateway to Mt. Magazine (highest point in state)

Im glad to see so many Jags in Arkansas. I have a 2001 XK8 convertible with 72000 miles. I love the car but it sure doesn't love me. Last year I replaced the top hydraulic lines. That was a chore. Cars in the shop right now for a new torque converter and maybe trans depending how much metal is in the pan. I hope I get to drive it some before the next disaster Sure is pretty to look at though.

 

Hello from Northwest Arkansas. I live in Farmington just outside Fayetteville. 2004 Silver XJ8. Love the car.

 

Glad to see other Arkansans in this forum. I'm in Little Rock. I'm new to Jaguar and new to a "classic" car — so there much to learn about both.

 

I see there are several Jag owners here. I bought a 89 XJS after an engine fire and after realizing the cost to repair everything damage would be a stretch for someone that works for a living. I pulled a page from cousin Carroll's (as in "Shelby") Play Book. and I'm fixing to shove a 650+Hp/460 Cubic inch Ford down it's throat. Cheaper by far, and I won't have to put up with a Pissy Azzed Cat! Please don't get me wrong. I love the XJS, I was 18 the first time I drove one, and was blown away, I did a lot of reasearch on the v12 after I bought mine, it's quirks and extreme maintence /costs, and realized I like to drive my car to much for all that. And the cost of parts is staggering, so the Idea was hatched to build a "JACOBRA" So out with the crispy V12 and trans, and I've started fitting the 460 into place. Maybe one day soon I'll hear a real Roar!

89 Jacobra

 

Hey fellow Razorbacks and Red Wolves! This is Lance in Cabot. I have been a Jag owner for 2 years now and I am absolutely smitten with these automobiles! So much so that I own 2 now... From everything I have read, I must be "extremely" lucky because I have over 120,000 miles on both my XJ and XK, and they have given me very little trouble. I am a tinkerer and have torn down most of the interior parts to see how they work. I have upgraded the screen and A/C panel in my 2011 XJ (to get a faster touch response) and upgraded the steering wheel in my 2010 XK. When things get too hairy, my go to Indy guy here in central Arkansas is Ian Minennan at British Unlimited in North Little Rock. I highly recommend him and his crew for any Jag/Land Rover needs. Very reasonable and fair priced, plus, free diagnostics and code clearing! Would love to talk to anyone here locally that has any "newer" Jags (meaning, since they dumped Ford). So, WPS and Howl Yes!

 

Hey everybody! New Jag owner in Batesville, a hundred miles North and East of Little Rock. Just got a California 2012 XJL shipped in. Lunar Gray with a jet/ivory interior. Looks like mostly highway miles on it. Runs and drives great.

 

Hey everyone!

Been a jag owner for a couple months, 1997 Jaguar xj6. I've been a member of this forum for a while but did not see an Arkansas page! From Fort Smith here.

 

Hi Jacklyn

I never got a reply for my intro either. Guess owners are pretty rare in this state. Or maybe they just didn't like our attitude?

 

I'm in Batesville Arkansas as well, so I guess our little town is pretty well represented with two here now :-)

Just got my 1999 XJ8 about three weeks ago and I'm loving it.

 

I just found this regional section, so I decided to give a shout out from Hot Springs... I've had an 05 Jaguar XJR for about 2 years now..... love it... British racing green.... I've decided to sell it.. want to get an XF supercharged...$7,000 171,000miles....runs and drives great,
