Default XK Owner, What Is Your Age?

My last post about Fast Lanes kinda sparked a bulb in my head and I tried to research any previous threads referencing an age group for the XK8 & R’s owners. I remember seeing one at an old Mercedes Forum I was once a member of & that it was not only was somewhat unique but also a little surprising. Just thought it may be interesting to see if there is a common age group for the XK’s

I am 26.

I ultimately chose the XK(R) because of how much bang for the buck I got out of it. The exclusiveness the car offers (at least in my area) was also a huge plus.

I am 47. Jaguars tend to be driven by the more 'mature' driver here in Europe. They're not exactly old mens' cars, but it would be unusual to find a 26-year-old driving one. I am also a member of the XKEC in the UK and a similar club in France and seem to be one of the youngest people there!

I'm 27. For a little while I think I was the youngest one in this section…then a few younger guys joined up.

23 here (until tomorrow).

I don't care about exclusiveness, but because a VP at work drives a Carnival Red XK8 Vert, it is kind of nice that I can park wherever I want and they won't ticket me because they don't notice mines an R instead of an 8.
