Yes its a really nice car and ultra rare, The bodykit on this is also unique plus the rear spoiler - it still goes under the radar (a bit) as opposed to the new shape XKRS with gaping holes and spoilers everywhere. The AJ-V8 is a real masterpiece also.

Cheers

Default 2008 XKR Portfolio does NOT have power folding side mirrors

I’ve confirmed my 2008 XKR Portfolio does NOT have power folding side mirrors. Kind of strange this was offered for the XK Luxury package but not XKR portfolio.

Note the side mirrors DO angle down automatically when in reverse for parking to see curb, etc., which may be part of the confusion if the various manuals/brochures are trying to indicate this feature.

Being a registry that is over 10y old, I’d think most no longer own theirs. Or at least a good chunk.

Do any current 2008 XKR portfolio owners have an interest in starting a new registry thread?
of course the first post would be a link to this one as it contains amazing info.

Just feeling out thoughts….

At this time, perhaps the question should be asked, raise your claw if you still have yours? FYI, My paw is raised…..

Lots of love under the hood and the exterior.
The interior, not so much.
Nothing horrible even with my nit picky my OCD brain, but definitely looks like 17y of healthy use.
And let’s face it, these cars want to be used.

Just picked up a coupe here in Oregon that spent most of it's life in the Bay area - needs some exterior detail attention but mechanically really well sorted. Looking forward to sorting out the minor issues and raising it back up to the level it deserves!
