Please follow this link New Member Area - Intro a MUST - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the New Member Area - Intro a MUST forum and post some info about yourself and your vehicle for all members to see. In return you'll get a proper welcome and some useful advice about posting to the forum.

Advice: yes: PLEASE pay attention to this: these cars need full battery voltage all the time. Get a CTEK battery maintainer with a "comfort extension wire", fit it permanently to the battery, keep the CTEK unit outside the car and plug it in when the car is not being used. You will have no problems with your beautiful beast. But if you do not use your car on an almost daily schedule and for longish runs then you will start to have random electronic "issues": problems with seats, door locks, windows, the convertible top, the touch screen, random warning lights etc. None of these systems are defective; they are simply telling you that the battery is not at full voltage.
See my happy, zero-problem XK with the CTEK unit on the floor behind it.

They are beautiful rolling works of art.
There's a section in the XK set of threads that talk about common problems. It's a remarkably reliable and long-lived car, but it has some small common problems. (AC drain, Leather dash curling, battery drain, and a few others. You might as well learn about them now, it might save you questions and aggravation later. Most have some recommended preventative actions associated with them. I know that you'll enjoy taking your cat out for a pee to clean her AC drainage tube.
I'm formally from CT, you'll love taking the car out on some of those winding woodland roads.
