Description:

I had a buyer who backed out so now I have a choice, Jaguar or Lotus or wife. So. This is a Las Vegas desert car, with no salty ocean air from California or Florida, so no rust or rot.  The previous owner is a Jaguar-certified mechanic who has done a lot of the heavy lifting. This car is running without any issues. The transmission was rebuilt 4500 miles ago, tensioners and timing chain upgraded (Jag mechanic), new starter, new front struts, new upper strut mounts (Welch), upgraded DIN (original with car), upgraded wheels (stock wheels with car), rotors, and pad have 12k miles on them, new steering pump 1500 miles, replaced both headlights, interior good, seats recovered 3 years ago, fuel system upgraded (professionally 2k miles) , exterior good. The convertible top is good, with no rips or tears.

You mention the tensioners and timing chains were replaced. Do you mean both primary and secondary tensioners plus the timing chain? Also have the hoses for the top and latch motor been changed?

Can you describe the condition of the tires? How old are they (date codes)?

Hi, if you wish I can send you the phone number of the Jaguar mechanic that did all of the work on the timing chains and the tensioners. He did the work for himself (he is the prior owner). He is also the person that did the work on the fuel system and many of the other upgrades. He is willing to talk to potential buyers. On the tires, I can get the tire code and send it to you shortly. Email me for the phone number of the mechanic.

Thanks

HI, yes it is still available, between work and other cars and car activities, the XK8 was somewhat out of my thinking. Good that you spoke to Bill, good guy.

I did NOT get your email, so if you could resend it it would be appreciated.

Thanks again.
