Charlie, Luca - great pics of some gorgeous cars.

Charlie - love the seats - are the insets black as well as the upper area around the head rest?

Luca - how's the new engine?

Yes sir, black ultra-suede inserts. More pictures here: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...6/#post2054834 but this is one taken before they were in the car.

Those are beautiful seats. If I have gotten it right I finally have my car back from attempts to determine starter lockout problem. Hopefully fixed. I hope I have included pix. Not really exotic, but a nice little 2006, 49K one owner Vert that I hope will be a nice addition to my garage. I plan to make a few changes over the next few months/years if She will just keep letting me start her without locking me out as has happened several times in the passed. "Be nice to me baby....."

Well I be damned, Sham!

You fooled me after all....the factious 2006 XK8 Convertible has appeared from the Florida Swamps and Sam; it's a good looking
"Son of a Gun"!

I wish you well with the Starter problem!

Good Luck to you! Billy Clyde in Houston

Isn't the 2006 basically the exact same car as the 2005? That's what I've seen written places.

I'm still trying to figure out where the cut off point was. My car is listed as a 2006, although all the writers say the factory stopped producing cars after the 2005 models. I am sure there is an answer somewhere here on the forum.

The last x100 was finished on 27 May 2005 and is part of the Jaguar Heritage Trust collection. In many of the export markets including the US cars were titled as 2006.

Don,

As it says: The last XKR-XK8 was Built on May 27,2005 and the Aluminum XK started production in September of that year. They were listed as 2007's. My 2005 XKR Coupe was manufactured in February of 2004 but listed as a 2005 due to changes made to the Grill-work, addition of the Rocker Panels and Rear Bumper changes, I'm not sure of the date they started calling the X-100's 2006's.

Sham,

Back in 1998 my Coupe was Topaz with Cashmere Interior.....Same as your new Convertible or at least it looks like Cashmere as it looks to dark to be Ivory....but my 98 had those "Revolver" Wheels....where as yours's are Atlas....It's a pretty color as I remember, I really liked it back then and it is still beautiful.....Just not Onyx!

Take care of her and I hope you've sorted out the Starter problem..

Beautiful! What year is it?
I've got a 2005 XKR that looks very similar.
