Hi All,

I’ve just joined the club (both ownership and the forum). I now own my first XK8 after years of thinking about it so looking very much looking forward to some summer miles.

Not a perfect car by any means but low ownership, and lots of history. I’m having some work done over the coming weeks so no doubt I’ll be picking your brains when I get stuck (handbrake light won’t go off &#128064.

look forward to it and I’m sure the car won’t disappoint,

all the best.

 

Hi,
Congratulations on the new Cat and welcome to the best Jaguar forum on t'interweb.

Most of them aren't perfect, but the good folks here will help you on your journey towards that goal.

I see she's a '97 - coupe or convertible?

 

97 Coupe in Black. Needs the usual arch work and a few minor cosmetics. 4 weeks or so should be good to go.

 

Congrats on your "new" cat. As a fellow '97 coupe owner I can say that you have miles and miles of smiles in your future.

 

Welcome to the forum. Congrats on the couple. Very nice cars!

 

Welcome from a fellow ‘97 XK8 coupe owner in the NW of England. Buying mine just o er a year ago was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, so hope that you get as much satisfaction from your car as I have from mine. Will you be attending any of the XK8 25th anniversary events this summer?

 

Thanks - I don’t know about the meet but hopefully I can get down. What’s the date and location?

cheers

 

There’s several events planned. The JEC summer event is at Bicester on 4th July and will feature XKs as well as various other Jags with significant anniversaries this year - E-type, Mark X and X-type. There’s also the Jaguar Breakfast Club event on 4th September at the British Motor Museum at Gaydon https://www.jaguarbreakfastclub.org.uk/

 

Great - I’ll see what’s what and hopefully get down. Bit of work to do before then!

 

Thanks for the link. There's also an XK 25th event on the 4th Sept. so I'm definitely up for that.
