After roughly a year of looking at a bunch of X100 XKs, finally found one that is spot on! A one woman owner since new, late 1998 XKR. Previous owner's husband had a good deal of work done to her, including metal tensioners, new water pump, gearbox servicing, changing the supercharger oil, stainless steel back boxes and a long long service history full of much more!

A few small things I'd like to address like top mounts and some squeaks here and there, but overall a great car. All help would be appreciated.

 

Congratulations!
Color, etc?

 

congrats

 

Congratulations!

I'm also prepared to wait that long to find mine and it's definitely looking like it will take time. I guess they are also a bit rare in Greece too? Here they are definitely not a common sight by any stretch of the word.

 

Here she is, blue with tan interior, really a beauty. They are very rare around here. Especially the XKR x100.

 

Congrats on the find/purchase.

I did not know what "stainless steel back boxes" were.
Had to Google it.

Nice, Looks like my colour Pacific Blue, enjoy

 

Not exactly as the linked picture, I think it has original tips, just the mufflers/backboxes have been changed. Thanks!

 

Thanks Peter, I don't think so, mine is slightly lighter than your car, same alloy wheels though. Would be interesting to know what colour she is, I think the interior is oatmeal. Beautiful XJ by the way!

 

Look for the manufacturer's label on the LH door pillar:



The 3-Letter Paint and Trim codes identify the precise colours.
