Got mine for $5000 at auction, 3 owners, clean CARFAX, spent 2-3k on it (tires, suspension, roof hydraulics, abs controller etc) So I have a car for $8kthats everything you describe, quiet, smooth, great air con, quick enough, everything works. Had a Bentley GTC but cant drive in Florida worrying about someone hitting me. Get a good one and these cars are unbelievable value, nothing like it, much better than my previous XJS and way more comfortable and usable.
Looking for advise please: considering a 2002 XK8, everything is flawless but seats, windows and roof doesn’t work. Seller is telling me some module change should do it, but I have no idea what him stepping into and can’t seem to find answers online. Any experience with this? Thank you
Barrie I think you should ditch go-pro there are other alternatives, so expensive for something that overheats. However , your reviews have the best video on UA-cam by far
ive got Gopros, Insta 360º One R, Insta Go2, Dji Pocket, Dji Actions, and the New Dji Action 2, they are all problematic and constantly need software updates which then conflict with other things
Just acquired a 1999 xk8...82,000+ previous mileage recorded so far...not sure about putting the top down because i've seen other videos where people said they had problems with the hydraulic lines breaking...any suggestions on the convertible retractable canvas top or should i quit thinking about thinking that it still works ok?😮😊runs pretty good...had it only a couple weeks...
I certainly like your taste in cars and music Barrie. I've only just got around to buying an iPod lead for my XK (X150) so now I can unleash Bruce H on the in-car sound system. Oddly enough, I have a funeral to go to next week, so that seems like the ideal opportunity. My mate was a big Who fan, so I guess Who's Next will get a thrashing on the return journey in his memory.
Stunning. Much prettier than an e type! . Could never see the beauty in them that everyone else seems to see. I'm in the same boat would love it but no where dry to keep it. Short of building a car port
i think its the stupidest idea since electronic hand brakes, the state of some cars on the road now, and the advisories that they are willing to drive round with is beyond comprehension, if they can get away with it for 2 years that would be unthinkable, the roads would be an even unsafer place to be, not forgetting that some people have absolutely no idea about cars, never check their tyres or pressures, and would rather scratch their £1000 windscreens than pay £10 for a new wiper blade so they can see where they are going, in short only a complete idiot would even suggest extending the MOT, hope that answers your question 😂

Hey, Barrie! Thanks for the pleasant ride through the British countryside in a great car. Enjoyable storytelling, as always! Best wishes from Florida.
I was just thinking about you, im in the process of setting up another interactive webcam 😎
You’ve hit the high notes with this one, absolutely stunning what a fantastic vehicle,wish i had somewhere dry to store it,beautiful
Glad you enjoyed it Mike, I certainly did when I was driving it

They may mean the body control unit, if it is it won’t be cheap, a BMW one is £830 plus fitting, plus coding plus vat, so be careful
@@BarrieCrampton thank you

Yes! Another Jag video. Lovely car. I’d be tempted but I don’t have any room what with my XF and XJ already 🤣
Loves these reviews Barrie, top bloke but oh my days that jacket 😆
I love that jacket, its my new favourite 😎
I have exactly the same car except different wheels. It gets more attention than my 2014 C7 Corvette. Both are a hoot to drive.

I'm not surprised that this has been snapped up already! 😎
Engaging "sport" mode tomorrow....lol😅i gotta try that one....definitely sounds awesome.

Sorry for your loss, great taste in music though 👍

I loved the E type, but I think this has captured similar lines and looks great too
Gorgeous jaguar love the jacket.
lovely car, and I like my jacket, didn't think i would like it as much when i ordered it, thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment
you have the best job in the world
Well I’m quite content with it
Had to laugh when you said you overtook the hearse 😎
not my finest moment, but sadly not my worst either 😂
fantastic car ❤👍👍
Thank you 👍 its gorgeous
What do you think about the possibility of the government scrapping annual MOTS?

Keep it Barry! How many of those jackets have you got?
3, black, blue and cream
Is the jacket included?
Would you want it? Anyway sorry to disappoint if you did, the car is sold now 😂
@@BarrieCrampton lovely car, I'm not surprised it sold

@@BarrieCrampton glad your ok mate love your car reviews
She has an XKR bonnet.
it was ordered with it from new,
This or the mustang?
Oh, thats a tricky one, erm Mustang during the week, and Jag at weekends
Great cars but the rust issues put me off 🤷♂️
12 months tax on that car here in Ireland would be about 1,800.

Blasphemous? in what way?
