Bought this at an auction 5 or 6 years ago on spur of the moment. Looked like a bargain although high mileage, had a replacement engine. The car is far from perfect but is now my daily driver now that I am retired - in reality I don’t drive it every day

This is the one I aspired to - low mileage and great condition XKR. This summer I have driven it to Devon from Shropshire on holiday and just got back from Bruges, Belgium. I have owned it for 4 years.

 

5.7 liter, mild cam, professionallly programmed backed by a Temecula 6 speed manual.

 

LS1Jagman - sweet - but I noticed the front upper shock mounts are in need of replacement - you can see where the foam is starting to crack/deteriorate - so just a matter of time and the driver side mount - the shock is cocked toward the front of the engine bay vice centered and vertical.

 

Thanks. I will look at those asap. The rear ones were just replaced

 

 

 

So far put couple thousand miles on it in over a month and no problems ,, thats a couple thousand miles less on my 11XKR which is a good thing.

You must have passed the DMV test OnLine.

I know exactly who will be driving it the most in a few years time!

Just picked this up a week ago. 2001 XK8 Convertible with 21k miles on it. The wife is completely smitten with it.

 

Oh, that is gorgeous @avanti357 . What year/color code is that? I'm thinking I'll need a respray eventually for my big cat.

 

Found some nice places to go big cat hunting near me. 😍

Those coupes sure are beautiful looking cars.

 

Sometimes I just go out to look at her. Don't even need to go for a ride.

 

OOOoooh, this car is a beauty, I see you have the staggered wheels. Mine is black/black 2004. May I ask what tires are mounted on those wheels and are you happy with performance? I am getting tired and do not wish to drift this beauty show, just seeking any good advice with a stagger set up.

 

More fun with murals in Denver. These things photograph so well.

 

Michelin pilot sport as3. They perform fine. I'm an old man. I don't push them to the limits.

 

 

A great looking car!

Where did you source the upper strut bar from?
