Sadly, the time has come to part with my 1997 XK8. It is such a pretty car that has been a ball to drive, and I hate to see it go. Now that I have developed high blood pressure, I don’t work on it like I used to. It has several things that need to be done to get it back on the road, and I would rather sell it than either take on or outsource those projects.

I have put this decision off for awhile now, and putting it in print is the first step to making the change for real.
Sigh.

 

Tom,

All good things come to an end. Sorry to hear about your medical condition, and as you said before "Age is the Enemy. " Hopefully the next owner of the car will take care of the work that you no longer can do. This XK8 is a blast to drive and own, and I got mine as a Project Car to have a bit of fun in the garage. Hopefully someone in Texas will also have the same thing in mind.

Good luck and thanks for all your input into this Forum for the past 5 years.

 

Thanks, David. I don't know that I contributed much, but I learned plenty.

This car is an absolute ball to drive. That's the part I will miss.

 

Tom, could you PM me the information or put a link here.
I have a member on another Forum who is looking for a early car.
Thanks, Wayne

 

Wayne:

Thanks for spotting the connection. I have it listed locally on Craigslist here.
