We've just started looking into purchasing an old(er) XK8. Seen a few cars listed in our price range, just, but the two that stand out are a year 2000 registered XK8 4.0l with 60,000 miles on the clock and a year 2001 XK8 4.0l with 85,000 miles on the clock. They are exactly the same price.

Both cars have full service histories, two owners, long MOT's and tax. So now we wonder is age i.e. 2000 v 2001 more important than mileage as there is 25,000 miles between them? or miles on the clock more important than age? Perhaps there is some difference between the modifications/engines etc between 2000 and 2001? Can anyone kindly advise, pass an opinion? we would be very grateful
