Default My 1998 XK8 Coupe and 1999 XKR convertible

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.

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.

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.

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