Hi all , what would the forum suggest as a convertible go for an 2006 xkr of the 07 an up. I have an eye on a 2006 xkr victory edition with 112.000 miles in good condition. Or should I move on . Any ideas. Thanks.

Sacho,
not sure of the question...XJR... typo?
If you’re looking at X100 vs X150, it’s a question of budget vs performance vs beauty.
The X100 is a beautiful classic body shape but with reliability problems due to age. Rust is an issue now. But it’s cheap and entry level to a V8 engine. If looked after properly, the AJ-V8 is a terrific, reliable engine. The later Merc and ZF6 transmission gearboxes are good too.
The X150 is the later newer model and is a performance sports car with an Aluminium chassis so lighter, quicker and nimbler. Rev Sam could give you a direct comparison as he’s had both. Ask his opinion on the X150 forum. The XKR-S is said to be a serious sports motor. But it’s also more expensive.... no surprise there.
If it’s class you’re after, the X100 convertible is hard to beat for value for money. If it’s a sports car you’re after, go for the X150.
