My town in Florida has a population of about 900 people. Jaguar made 100 Portfolio Edition Coronado Blue XKRs in 2004. What are the chances 2 of them ended up so close together 15 years later?

I suspect it's the one that doesn't have the wheel centers.

Her car has 77,000 miles and she has put 75,500 of them on the car so essentially she is the original owner. She also has a receipt for every oil change and everything that has ever been done to the car. Extremely original car that has not been messed with and everything works.

The funny part about this I have never seen another XKR in my town or the adjoining city (which is pretty small as well). This is the first one ever and it is a mirror image of mine which I find unbelievably coincidental. With such a small number
of these made I thought I might never see another one.

That would be for her to say. She does read this forum.

Well I think you are both lucky to have such beautiful cars.
Just think, you can do her front end when the time comes, she might enjoy getting her hands dirty.
A few of the girls with Triumphs with roll under the car in a minute. Always a joy to help with the wife supervising of course. LOL
