Congrats! Seems like there have been a flurry of 100k turnovers this past week. Good for all!

nice!! Cheers to many more happy motoring miles!

Well done. Always enjoy seeing these cars reach 100,000 miles as well as the handful on here that have reached 200,000 miles. My wife's 2006 XK8 currently shows 120,600 miles but is no longer her daily driver and is now doing less than 2,500 miles per year as a toy....

Feasible, only 32 more years to go.

We got the car on Jan 2, 2009 with just under 21k miles in Las Vegas, drove it back to Tucson. It was a "off-lease" car that a small dealer had purchased. Seems it spent it's first three years on Long Island, NY....then it made it's way to Dallas, then to LV.
Had it's share of problems when we got it; brakes were worn as were the tires, both front wheels had impact damage, and there was corrosion on the wheels and hubs. It spent it's first two weeks in our garage on jackstands getting new brake pads/rotors and the front wheels repaired, then a set of tires. Of course none of this was disclosed by the dealer.
The XK8 was still under Jag warranty plus we purchased a service contract....both of which we used. The dealer service advisor was able to get both front lower control arms replaced as the lower ball joints were loose; could feel it in the steering, likely caused by whatever the impact was that bent the front wheels.

Needless to say the XK8 had a bit of a rough life the first three years....but has been pampered since then.

Finally going to change out the spark plugs.....I think they are the originals.....just never had any kind of engine problem and still do not....just did not think about changing the plugs. Now the transmission....well....that is a different story..............
