Here's a picture of the 1999 XK8 with 58,000 miles that I just purchased on Saturday down in West Palm Beach. On the run back to North Central Florida it ran flawlessly and gave me 24.6 mpg and put a smile on my face.

My wife wants to trade me the XJ8 I bought for her about 18 months ago which goes to show that the green eyed monster never sleeps<G>

very nice, no trades allowed...well maybe with the correct motivation!

Congratulations, looks great. I'd bet you had some "foot stomping" time on your way back, because if I'm careful (which rarely happens) I get close to 26-28mpg on my 150,000 mile 2002 XKR. And in many ways, I enjoy my 2002 more than my 2010 coupe. Enjoy!

Great looking car! I bought a 2000 XK8 with the same mileage and a similar condition. Did someone replace or augment the original grille with a mesh one? Looks very cool.

Nice! Only difference between yours and mine is mine has the 19" Apollos. Congrats and enjoy.
