GWS 2007 XKR 78000 miles

New Functional Jaguar Owner, Triple Black, bought used and still have a few quirks to work out. 30 years ago I purchased a 1970 XKE 2+2 that needed restoration, still have it, now needs Full Restoration. Too many projects so little time. Just purchased the XKR as fullfilment of dream and will be my "retirement" car. I will be selling the XKE and a 1960 MGA Coupe (also needs full restoration) to get my budget back in order.

Welcome GWS,
Sounds like you have a plan in mind, and are well on your way to fulfillment. There's nothing wrong in trading away cars that need work for cars that don't, if you've made up your mind you'd rather enjoy your cars from the top-side, rather than spending your free time beneath.![Icon Pala](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_pala.gif)
That's a beautiful car you have there.

I sold the old XKE and the MGA. Just put complete Brakes on the rear of my XKR. Had to wait a week over Thanksgiving for the left caliper to get to me. Interesting that someone ignored the rear brakes until they required new calipers as well as rotors and pads. The front brakes still have plenty of pad but I don't like the rotors current state so they are next on the repair list.

At least you'll end up with reliable brakes all round which should need nothing more than pads for some time to come.
