Default Hey from SW-TN

I saw an XK8 for sale on Facebook and recognized the sellers name.
Went down the street and looked the car over and visited a bit.
Came here and spent all of my free time reading about XK8 Jaguars —- THANK YOU ALL!
I bought it this morning 😍

I’m an old retired guy that’s worked with electricity, electronics, cars and motorcycles since the mid 60s.
Went from electronic repairman apprentice at US Steel Gary Works to Electrical Engineer and factory rep for an air cargo handling equipment company. Now just enjoying life...

I live in Saulsbury TN - about an hour east of Memphis in a forested community with lakes. We love it here.

I’ve ALWAYS worked on my own vehicles and have acquired lots of tools over the years.
I’m really looking forward to enjoying this XK8 with your help.
TIA - Goldwing
