    The ford era of jaguar was peak jag. All the cars of that era were good and your right they wear the milleage so well. I've been running a X type estate auto 2.2d. What a car. Bought it for £800 at auction. Ran it. Sold it for £2000 on 130k miles. Didn't spend a penny on it.

    Granted, there are engine differences, but the XK is more comparable to the DB9 instead of the Vantage.

    I drive the exact same car colour etc.., it's my daily drive with 192k, runs beautifully just remember regular oil changes. They are fairly bullet-proof although I have changed radiator, coolant hoses and rear suspension arms. But at that high mileage you expect peripheral maintenance on a car anyway. Just looks the business, real head turner. 😊

    I loved my 5.0 portfolio and still love the classic coupe shape with huge rear haunches. Only thing that lets it down as a car to buy today is the infotainment and integrated heater controls, very difficult to replace with a more modern system.

      It's a standard XKR rear box bolted straight on to the NA XK. It's slightly smaller than the stock box and as the XKR has an extra box in the middle of the system and the NA does not. Consequently you get that wonderful exhaust note. Did it to mine and it is truly awesome.

    Absolutely love these Joe, but I suspect you got a bargain because nobody really wants them. Maintenance costs of a 16 year old £80k car in the midst of a cost of living crisis, £700 road tax, low 20's mpg if you're lucky, petrol expensive, clean air zones & co2-related parking charges being inflicted on us, govt trying to push us all into ev's, reliability concerns, old man image. Difficult to shift because of all of the above, but I'd personally have one in a heartbeat 😄 Just as a 2nd/weekend car to cherish. Values likely to pick up once people start getting tired of soulless cars & mourn the good old days I reckon 🤔
