I posted these over in the XK/XKR forum, so hopefully I don't get in trouble for cross posting... but I thought some people over here would appreciate these too. My father just purchased the XKR-S, and the XK8 and XJSC are mine. Seeing the evolution of Jag's GT cars is kind of neat I think. I'm not a very good photographer.. sorry haha. (And yes, I know the front splitter is missing from the XKR-S.. was damaged in transit and a new one is on order from the dealer)

I used to own this one.
Back when I had this car I wasn't even on the forums. Any of them. Not I am on a forum for each brand that I own. Today I just thought I would share these here. I am on this forum now as I own an 08 XK...but here was my first ever Jag! Had the Arden body kit and Mina Gallery exhaust. I also have the Mina exhaust on my current one.
Great color!

Sublyminal,
Always loved the look of your XK8 in your videos. When I picture the perfect Jaguar in my head, yours is the one that pops up. Paint color and wheels are best I have seen on an XK. Do you remember anything about the wheels, their make or size.

Nice! I used to live on Mines Rd. in Livermore. Your XKR would be a nice car to take up to the Junction Café for lunch at Mines Rd. & Del Porto Canyon Rd. Good luck with it.

2000 XKR Sapphire Blue
Spooky , MediaDave.
I have attached photos of our 2000 XKR with 62000 miles which I picked up yesterday from down in Tasmania. an island state off the south of Australia. I live in Victoria.
It was a spectacular day. There was a car show about 1/2 hr from where I picked him up and the Tas Jag club invited me after I asked about a good drive back to Devonport. I was asked to include the new car in the show. Following the show I had a spectacular drive back along the Tamar River and then across a great twisty mountain road. Drove on to the ship in Tassie at 8.00pm last night and drove off and straight to work in Victoria today.
