Very nice car, the colors are "Marvelous" thanks for sharing. You'll enjoy the cruising and looks you'll get.

 

My XK8 in the rain and fog at the JCNA concourse show in Little Switzerland NC about to drive under the Inn's port cochere for judging. Nothing sader than a wet cat!!!

 

LOL.

Since our "sensible" run around is my wife's MGZS V6 180hp With an ironing board size rear wing, in red. I can confirm that, motoring wise, it is possible to not be PC all the time.

I'm also sure i'm not the least PC ,motoring wise, on this forum.

As you are from Somerset, do you use Taunton-Jaguar?
Collected my XK on the 2nd August 2013.
If you use the dealer say hello to Joshua for me, Im sure he will remember WJ62HRC,

 

Hi Billy D,

I use Kevin Welch Motors - Jaguar specialist just around the corner from Taunton Jaguar. I had it on good authority that JT send all the really difficult problems to Kevin! He did the timing chain tensioners and water pump for me and looks after it. - Great guy, very knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. I note your location says Ireland - is that where you now live or are you around Somerset?

 

Hi Dee Tee
I am from Northern Ireland, we travelled to Taunton via Holyhead in our XF last year to collect the XK. Quite an experience with a 1000 mile round trip.
We also spent some time in and around Polmassick, Cornwall. No one had prepared me for the Cornish B? roads where my wing mirrors literally were touching vegetation on either side.

 

This is my first Jaguar. 2002 XK8, driven less than 2000 miles, British Racing Green and is superb shape. So excited!!

 

How do you keep that car garaged for so long?

Beautiful.

Is that a 2005 XJR 4.2-S Final Series?





Graham

 

Hi Graham,

Thanks. Yes , it is a 2005 registered (but 2006 MY) Victory Edition 4.2-S. Modified sports exhaust. Ivory interior. Picture is from the ad the dealer used however I will have to take some of my own soon and post them.

 

My last XK8 was a Frost Blue 2005 4.2-S with Ivory interior.



The 4.2-S has all the options and is definitely the one to go for.

NICE... These cars are just so beautiful. It was a really hard decision between the coupe or the soft top.
