As a new member of this forum, I apologize if this is a repeat, but I found this jewel online and had to share:

MT 1997: Jaguar XK8 Road Test - YouTube

 

Well, I for one hadn't seen it, so thanks for sharing

 

I had not seen that before but love seeing things like that. It would be great to have original editions of the car magazines from that era with reviews of the car. In a similar vein, I have managed to keep the original dealer brochure from almost every car I have owned. I get a kick from looking at the musclecar-oriented brochure from my 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner (sure wish I still had that car).

Thanks for sharing. Good to see the beginnings of the new line

 

Nice. Now I want to find one in that color!

 

Try this book. It's a compilation of about 30 articles from UK & US car magazines. A great read.

 

"...all comfort and style."

Sad commentary, I think, considering Jag heritage. I'm glad that Jag has rediscovered horsepower these days.

Cheers

If they would have waited just a year they could have covered the XKR, which at 390bhp I'm pretty sure qualifies as a "sports car." Actually I guess that's only after the introduction of the 4.2L in '03, but you see my point.

 

Very enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing.

 

That's a nice find really
