Confession time. Mine is the blue cat. However it was inspired by a local blues club here in Dallas, if that helps.

2005 XKR, 8440 miles. Jaguar of Great Neck.



2004 XKR, 5600 Miles, Private Seller in Houston.



1997 Jaguar XK8, 9400 miles, Williams Auto Sales in Ohio.



^^^ If these miles are accurate, imho this one falls under the category of
"too few miles for age"...


Edit: I just realized that the XKR in Houston is the same one posted further upthread.
Just with new photos. Oops. Well at least he's still putting miles on it!

Good lord, these must be bought by people with far too much money and too many cars.

Seriously, how big would your garage have to be and filled with what other things that you could completely forget about one of these cars for 10 years?

Victory Edition and they don't even mention it. Worth $25k IMHO.

I've put more miles on mine in a 72 hour stretch than that car has had in 19 years! (But if I didn't have two already, I'd be looking at it)

Awww, c'mon guys. Ya gotta cut us some slack with the car naming.

I like contradictions - so calling such a proud, serious and powerful car something like "Kitty" (which I actually do!) is sort of an inside joke.

I "like" Kitty!

Someone must have inhaled it. It seems to have vaporised from the listings.

Default Seems like we'll never run out!

At 7400 miles, this one probably also falls in the category of 'not driven enough'..

Now that is a sweet ride. To bad it's white but nice regardless. Wonder what the reserve is, as this is a dealer probably asking north of 20K.

Actually white is my favorite color for this era XK8! But it is a shame that 2 owners only managed to put on 7,400 miles in all the time it was owned. I guess that "air conditioned garage" that the car sat in really got some enjoyment out of the vehicle.
