My new 97 coupe
I traded in my Mitsubishi Evo on Friday, after test driving a few coupes (and blowing one up, but that wasn't my fault).
I ended up going with a 97 Ice blue on Biscuit.
The clencher of the deal was that the timing chains and guides were replaced 6000 miles ago.
I've been a fan of the coupes since they came out (and my dad has a 67 Etype) and finally have one, and can't wait to start personalizing it (I'm a designer in the automotive aftermarket industry).
Heres some pics.

RE: My new 97 coupe
When I bought my Xtype I was torn with getting a cheaper Xtype or getting an older XK for the same price...
I decided I should get a newer car with less miles since I'm weary of older cars, like 10 years old.
But when I look at these used XKs that people buy/.... BOY AM I JEALOUS!!!!

RE: My new 97 coupe
car looks beautiful. How many miles does it have on it, cuz it looks like it has never been driven.
I don't liek the wheels tho, I have a 2000 with the stock 17 inch rims, and I just think they work better with the car. Are your rims jaguar, or did you buy it from a wheel store.
Your paint job looks great, I'm jealous.

It has 81k miles on it.
The paint is in gorgeous condition because it was always garaged.
I really don't like the wheels either, they are factory chrome 17's.
I work as a wheel designer, so I plan on putting 20x9 and 20x10 brushed aluminum mesh wheels on it, as well as lowering it, and at a later time adding an Arden aero kit.
