I'm on the hunt for a Jaguar XK convertible, having finally realised that a car I've always liked is now affordable! Any tips appreciated!

 

I should add, I'm looking at specifically the xk8/xkr era xks. I really think the styling was lost in 2004 when they put the slightly chavvy trim around the car to try and lower it, and then the 2005+ new model is really not my style (or Jaguar's IMHO, but I'm probably about to start a flame war with that comment so I'll leave it at that for my second post!...

 

Welcome to the forum,

Good to have you with us.
You'll want to look in the XK8/R section for info XK8 / XKR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum don't forget the FAQ's for buying tips.
I assume you're in Olympic London and not London Ontario?
If you haven't done so already you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

 

Welcome to the forum XKSE,

Plenty around, cheap to buy.........................follow Norri's link to the XK8/XKR section and find out how to avoid a lemon.

Enjoy the search.

And yes, "Olympic London" rather than London Ontario. Just about to venture out of the office into the hell of Olympic bureaucrats and their special lanes through the traffic. Wouldn't mind so much if we hadn't paid so royally for the privilege of the inconvenience! And as for Mitt Romney coming over here and saying we're not ready, we don't think he's ready either...

Anyway, it has amused me greatly finding this forum, as I'd never have imagined so many Jags stateside... do you call them "Jaguars" or "Jagwars"?

You can tell I'm in one of those Friday afternoon moods...

 

Hope you made it home. I was watching the cycle race on TV today (Saturday) and hadn't realised before then just how much disruption the 'Olympic Lanes' were making to travel around central London.
