Hello everyone! New owner - 2005 XKR
Hello everyone,
I just purchased a 2005 XKR coupe (factory handling package option, BBS 20" sepang wheels, red Brembos, one owner, 109k miles, original window sticker, full records, ebony/charcoal, excellent condition - my car in my avatar).
My only Jaguar experience is when my wife and I rented a XK8 convertible in 1999 to spend two weeks in Napa/Sonoma/Carmel by the Sea. I've wanted a XKR or XK8 ever since and with our imminent repatriation to the US from France, there was not a better time than now to make the purchase!
Looking forward our future exchanges and to discovering the wealth of information which I am certain to find in the forum.
Best Regards, Fred

Welcome to the forum Fred,
Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums. Did you buy the XKR in France with the intention of exporting to the US or in the US ready for your return?
Follow this link XK8 / XKR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the XK8/XKR forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.
Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.
You can also visit the US Southwest Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/southwest-us-az-tx-nm-ok-37/ to find other members in your region.
Enjoy the forums.

Hi Graham, thanks for the links and info. I've updated my signature and added some photos in my garage. I bought the XKR in central Texas and it is stored in my sister's garage until our final return in August. Can't wait to get back to the US after 10 years in expatriation. We just sold our Alfa Romeo Mito last week in preparation for our return.
Looking forward to participating in the forum.
Best Regards, Fred

I had Sepangs on my Frost Blue 2005 XK8 Coupe. They look even better against your Ebony XKR.
Hope your move back to Texas goes smoothly.

Hi John, thanks! Good to be here. My sister-in-law lives in Frisco, so we'll be in the Dallas area often. I'll keep an eye out for you. Shouldn't be hard to spot in your good looking 2002. Is it topaz or one of the silver colors? I couldn't quite tell from your photos. The XK coupes look great in either.
Best Regards, Fred
