Default Hello - from South Africa

Howzit guys and girls
So yes. After many many years of pondering, I finally bought the most attractive car ever built - my very own 2007 Jaguar XKR in Liquid Silver!!
Completely over the moon!
This is my first Jag, and also the only Jag ever in the family!
I took a while looking for the perfect example, test drove many an XKR, finally this one appeared and everything made sense.
She is a low mileage example - only 33,000 km (20,600 miles) in 11 years, including a FSH from Jaguar.
Every service was carried out at the dealership, on time, every year.
I own and have owned many fast cars, including some very hot Opels, and this purchase complements my garage full of hot hatches nicely.
I hope to make a few new Jaguar friends and looking forward to some tips and obviously, a lot of knowledge!!

My last XK was a 2007. In the four years I ran the car, it was the most troublefree Jaguar I've had in more than forty five years. This isn't unusual as the 4.2 version has a good reputation and yours certainly has excellent provenance with a full dealer history.

Thanks Graham. You always hear horror stories about Jaguar's, but I couldn't really find a reason not to buy this. I know that there are plenty of tips on this forum, so hopefully this will be my first, but not only, Jaguar from here on. Thank you for the nice welcome.
