Haha! I've never seen another one this color (or colour ) before! I really don't care for blue cars, but I really like this. What color is your interior? Mine is gray or Dove, as they say.

I believe the official name for it is Zircon - well actually know, the previous owner was generous enough to leave the original brochure with the car - - I have been pleased

Interior is white - or Ivory - which I must be crazy to get as me and white - I just have to look at it and it gets dirty...

But the car had almost everything I wanted and a price/history that it was too good to say no.

I just added a 2005 XK8 convertible in Seafrost/Cashmere to the DFW area. I purchased it online from an exotic car dealer in West Palm Beach, FL. Had my brother-in-law take it out for a spin and inspection. Flew down, took it out for a drive about and closed the deal. Shipped it to DFW three weeks ago. Installed a set of chrome wheels and am enjoying my Dallas cruising. The weather in Dallas cooperated by "cooling down" (low 90's) just in time for my top to come down.

We're in Fort Worth, just added a 2003 XK8 to the stable. Would love to know about meets or runs in the area.

Haven't heard of any (although I'm new to the DFW Jag family). Love to get together with Jag local enthusiasts. Anyone know of any meets or runs in our area?

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that?
Chris, we were hoping that WE could get a few of these Houston Jaguars to turn up at the Planned "Houston British Motor Expo" on 20th October organized by the Houston MG Car Club. Info Available on the Web at www.houston mgcc.com ???? Myself and a freinf have registered, how many more. ???

Pete, you need to go to www.houstonmgcc.com Web Site and fill in an application form complete with required fee.
Look forward to seeing you there, don't know if any other Jaguar owners will be there, only had you respond so far????

Jstephen,
Google Cars and Coffee, Dallas. I think they meet up once a month at Classic BMW in Plano. Everybody's welcome and all brands are there. Runs from like 7 til 11 or noon or something like that.

I LOVE the color of your Jag. Always been my favourite color. When I bought my 1999 XJ8 VDP, I was looking for one that color, but due to the condition/mileage/price of my 1999 XJ8 VDP just had to buy a white one, Ah Well??? You have to do what you have to do.

TerryR-
Thanks for you thumbs up on the color. It does stand out amongst all the greys and blacks. Get a lot of comments on it.
