I've just purchased a mint condition Vanden Plas red, 109K. White leather runs like a top garaged every day of it's life and is a spectacular specimen. I do realize these are not factory wheels, the gentleman i purchased it from said there had been on it when he purchased it 18 years ago at 30k. I do have a few questions after this post and will be posting them politely. I hope you all are doing well and would like to thank you for the knowledge bank in advance - Jacob

 

What a Pretty Car, Jacob! And it's RED! My second favorite right after BLACK.
Those wheels might not be "factory," but they look Really nice on that car!

Someone will be along soon to direct you to the correct section where you can ask questions if you need to, or just hang out.

Thank you all!

 

Hi Jacob! What a beauty she is. I was looking at a white Vanden Plas before I picked out the silver XK8. What year is she?

 

Welcome Jacob.
That is a nice one. I was thinking about getting a 2008 in Atlanta
It was silver with a dark interior but it had been hit on both sides and front and back.
The dealer didn't show it with the hood and trunk open. So I moved on.

 

Welcome aboard Jacob.

 

1997, thank you!. I still can't believe I own one in such good condition. Those XK8's are beautiful!

Welcome to Jaguar ownership Jacob! She's a beauty all right. Those wheels really pop! I don't recall seeing those kind on a Jaguar before. It's not easy to find appropriately stylish aftermarket wheels, that fit properly on the older models. They make your car particularly unique.

Excellent job acquiring such a fine condition VDP. It is always good to start out with a solid example. You will have fun in that car! See you in the X300 section.
