Found a new home for my 01 XK8 vert. Just sold to a Jag lover in Texas. He has an XKE vert and has added the XK8 to his collection. My old XK8 was a great car and I am sorry it had to go, but the 03 XKR that replaced it will fill the void. If I had a bigger garage I would have kept it.

Happy ending all round, the car has a good home and you can concentrate on the R.

 

Congrats. The good news is that you can earmark those funds for the long-term upkeep of your XKR. There's always a silver lining whenever you sell a vehicle....

 

Congrats! Best of luck!!

 

did you recommend the forums to the new owner in TX?

 

Post up some pics of your new ride.

 

Congrats on the new ride and also passing your vert onto a caring owner....nice one!

As per Matt, did you manage to recommend the forums to the new owner?

 

What are you going to do with the 100 extra H.P?

 

Yes, I did inform him about the Forum. He was aware of it, he also belongs to the Jaguar club in Dallas. I was really happy to sell the XK8 to a Jag enthusiast. The XK8 has an interesting ownership. The original celebrity owner lived on 5th Avenue in NY city and owned it for about 6 years. The 2nd owner was a car collector who owned several new car franchises.

My XKR is acting up a little, looks like I might be earning more points on my credit card, but what's not to love about these beautiful Jags. LOL

I think I will be able to figure that out as long as my wife is not riding with me. LOL

I don't think the XKR likes it up here in CT. I thing it wants to go back home to Raleigh, NC. It has been acting up lately, but too bad ***** cat you got to stay here in CT and get use to it.
