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!

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.

63 - Getting to hard to ride the Triumph and the Jag just feels so good.

49. Got the kids out of the house (for the most part) and decided to sell the practical econo-box and buy a convertible.
