Question V8 temperature

Hello all,
When looking at potential XK8 purchases I intend to plug in an OBD reader.
What would be a 'normal' coolant temperature after the engine has had a good run?

Many thanks
Andrew

Around 195 to 205 F is typical. If you are idling for a long time, fans should kick in by about 215 F and temperature should drop.
