Default Went To Buy a Boot (Trunk) Mat and Ended Up Buying Car !!!

Thought other members might like to see the GORGEOUS XKR I've just purchased. I actually went to the last owners house to collect a boot (trunk) mat and ended up buying the car !! It's a 2010 model with just 34,000
miles recorded. Was an original Jaguar Press car, which featured (briefly) on Top Gear. It has the Speed Pack and Black Pack (de-limited to 174mph). I absolutely love it and it won't be for sale any time soon. I believe they
stopped doing Salsa Red in 2012 - the colour certainly makes the car stand out in a crowd - lol !

Gorgeous! I'd have a hard time explaining to the missus how an $$ trunk mat turned into a $$$$$ car!

Hi mhminnich - My wife has gotten used to my impulse buys. When she saw the car she agreed with me that we had to have it - it was obviously meant to be. Strangely enough the day I saw it was my birthday and one of my birthday cards was a cartoon picture of a man polishing a red sports car ! Also that very same day my wife found a four-leaf clover as she walked home from work !!

Hi all,

Must update my details - Solihull is slap-bang in the centre of England, UK. This XKR was fitted with the Fast Pack and Black Pack (Don't know if the model was available worldwide ??)
