Default New Guy In Tennessee with an XK8

Hello, I'm picking up my first Jaguar today, this 2003 XK8 convertible. I've loved these cars since they were first introduced. They've now depreciated enough in value that I can get one as my hobby car. I look forward to learning from the experienced owners on this forum.

There's a reason pinstripes are rarely seen on an XK8. Extremely difficult to get it right.

Whoever did that had a very steady hand and a good eye for the curves.

I've added that to my signature and saved it, but my signature is not showing up on my post.

Alan,

You WILL see it if you use a PC or Mac:





You WON'T see it if you use a smartphone.
