Any Brooklyn cats?

 

I found one:

 

Justy got mine, a 2015 XKR convertible with 60K from Texas, arrived here in Northern California a weeek ago. I've got to get it up on the lift and check for all the usual suspects as I don't have a detailed prior history. Carfax shows two prior owners, plenty of visits to their local service centers, i just don't have any paperwork. The JLR diagnostic software is on order from a bloke in hte UK. Same for the owner's manual etc.. Here's one from the day it arrived after a quick handwash.

 

Bensonhurst checking in, although my XKR is in storage in NJ till winter is over:

 

HGD or HHP?

 

Botanical Green. HHN color code I think?

New Hope Auto did the work, as well as maintenance and repairs on this and my 2014 Carrera S: https://www.instagram.com/newhopeauto/

 

Very nice color combo.

 

 

Nice garage!

 

oh my, I'm quite envious

Not gonna lie, Project 8 steals the show for me.

 

Cold and gloomy around here at the moment, so here is a pic from a recent sunny day.

A Few pics from first year of ownership - flew out out Georgia to pick up and drive back 1200 miles.

 

You joined the Forum on November 1, 2024. Do you know where your 2007 XKR was before you bought it? If that's the original top, how did it survive the Russian winters for so long?

A bit of history would be interesting ...

Thanks and

 

Hi Stuart! I purchased this cat in october 2024 with ~50 000 miles (88000km). Car was originally sold new by Moscow dealer in 2007. So whole life in Russia. But it definitely robust and reliable, overall condition was pretty fine. Tent has a few minor wears, but works fine. I have changed shock absorbers (two was leaking) , couple of bushings and all springs, just to get new car ride. Still in factory paint, exept driver's door and front bumper.

Car is a peace of art, willing to keep it forever!

 

Lookin' good in the parking lot. :-)

 

Spring time!

 

My new to me 2007 4.2 in Emerald Fire.
Bought in January in 2025 and seen here unwrapped for its first ever drive out en-route to the 82nd Goodwood members' meeting.

 

Stunning !!
