I've had a convertible 2003 xk8 for 7 years , I love her, each time I drive her she makes me grin from ear to ear, each time I look at her she makes me smile and think ' is she really mine?'

The Jag was made in the same factory as spitfires were in Castle Bromwich. Also, some of the camouflage can still be seen on some of the older parts of the factory.

It's not perfect by any means but it's a Jag and it has a V8. The perfect antidote to all the boring EVs coming out at the moment. Arguably greener too!

Geoff, on a logical level makes no sense…but who cares about logic life is short enough. When we’re all in EV with the personality of domestic appliances we’ll wonder why we never had one, me included. You ticked the V8 box, you lived the dream!

Had a convertible for 10 years. No rust no rattles. Everything worked as it should and it had done 90k miles by the time I sold it. Brilliant cars if you buy the right one

I disagree on the facts you mention about the things you HATE about te Jaguar XK8. I totally AGREE, on the facts you mention about the things you LOVE about the Jaguar XK8....Why? It's the best anti depressance on 4 wheels there is. No side effects, just a bloody smile on your (my) 62 year old face! I work for over 35 years in Dutch healtcare, wich is now on a dead end road due a "market working system" Wich f*cked up most of the value's I have worked for all those years. Now I am in a burnout, wich gave sighns for several years before it showed itself, and I went trough the roof. Feeling bad then, and still now, I just have to sit and drive the Jaguar XK8 to feel relaxed, to feel rewarded, and to feel satisfied. For me the Jaguar XK8, of 1996 (one of the first on the road in the Netherlands, owned by a docter in those days) is driving a "middle finger" to the system and stupid society in wich I live in now. Why did you sell your Jaaaag??? You want to get depressed again? I predict, in one year or so, you have bought an other one.

IMO the X100 coupe is one of the most beautiful cars ever made. . . and the build quality would have been so much worse if BL executed it. That ajv8 ain't bad either; once you get the tensioners et al straightened out they're good for 150-200K miles easy.

It needs a dashboard that resembles a Hawker Hurricane wing so it can fit a few more gauges on it plus seats designed by Martin Baker.

If you buy one cheaply you will spend multiples of the purchase price to get it up to scratch. I know from experience

Both are true! Lol. Ps you forgot their insatiable appetite for rust! My first one was a mechanical pup and my second one is a rusty nail! Still, got some 20" BBS detroit wheels to sell off it first
