Thousands in someone else's depreciation!

May 2012.....

After months of searching, my "Jaguar at last" was found/purchased.

Like the proverbial kid in the sweet/toy shop!

As fantastic as the A8 was, why did I not do this sooner?

3.0 Auto. Sea frost green. Interior is bitter chocolate brown and beige leather (although it looks practically biscuit colour, in reality)

Mint inside and out. Rear seats never sat on! 60k on a 2000 x! FJSH.

I need to replace the chipped marker lens on the front bumper.

Can anyone advise where I can buy the smoked lenses to replace the ambers? Adamesh supplied the smoked side repeaters but do not supply the bumper lenses?

Photos to follow!

Best of all? My 12 y-o son & 14 y-o daughter LOVE it and even their friends said
"Your dad's car is cool!"

Ha ha!

Look forward to enjoying this forum!

Cheers!

No...not too sensible yet...but I have actually invested in seat cover for driver's seat as I use the car for work...short journeys - in and out of car a good deal and that didn't do the A8 seat any good over time!

Welcome to the forum.

Good to see you.

Go lightly about changing light colours in the UK, at least I think that is where you are.

(Rover 2000 TC and Capri, was the hint).
