I learned a little something about the history of these cars.
This might make you stick your chest out next time you drive your car. The V8 British Coupe That’s Now A Sub $10,000 Steal With Classic Looks

 

Wayne we drive the coolest 😎 90's car period!

 

Wayne,
I am looking to order some of your front shock mounts - my 2005 XKR is sitting a little bit low - I only recently joined so cannot PM yet, so if you could let me know the best way to connect I would appreciate it.

 

They are indeed still gorgeous cars. I just wish Jaguar had not turned their backs on us....

 

Cool and classic looking cars, i get compliments all around when i am out and about. The unfortunate thing is values have not and most likely will not increase, in other words, drive and enjoy your XK8

 

KRT, hit the cjd777 and it will take you to my profile, should have the Email there.

 

To get back to the original subject, the article was written by the usual “journalist” of minimal expertise, who conflates all “XK8” together (by omission) as $10K cars. Lumps together XK8/XKR, never mind the various rare special editions, convertibles and coupes. Dope. I’m still looking for my sub-$10K XKR-S GT…..while conflating why not throw in a X150?

 

Given that most of us have never been a customer of Jaguar and avoid Jaguar dealers like the plague, what relationship do you think we have with JLR?

 

dibbit,

I have not set foot in a Jaguar dealership since 2016. But I would still appreciate being able to source OEM parts from Jaguar if there is no other alternative. And being able to get services such as the ZF 6HP26 Adaptation Procedure performed if necessary (that is why I took my wife's 2006 XK8 to the Greensboro Jaguar dealership back in 2016)....
