I recently bought a 1999 XK8 Convertible with 50,000 actual miles. It still looks and smells new. The previous owners garaged it daily and and only drove it on the nice dry days. Plus I was given the file of all records from oil changes to repair work. I am really going to enjoy driving this work of art.

 

Congrats on the new ride! Glad to have you with us...

 

Welcome to the forum,

Do the records include the tensioner upgrade?
