I did replace all the bushings and ball joints. Everything is as tight as it can be. What a difference!

Yea it's weird mine also still look perfect even though they are 19 years old and have 78k miles on them. They are a pink colour though and I know they are meant to be yellow. When I come to rebuild the suspension I will be changing it all.

I always consider two things when I work on the car ....The thing only cost £2999 so dont spend money unless you have to .Having said that I have fitted a new starter motor, alternator,water pump, 4xdiscs and pads ( warped rear discs give you terrible brakes ). All this stuff was cheap ie two front discs £25,Starter £64. Pump £16 etc. I would love a respray as the boot lid was attacked with brake fluid and the respray was not the best but that would cost as much as the car so no.
Your car only has a life as long as it MOT (annual roadworthy test) so a catastrophic failure could reduce its value to zero

Due to their relative rarety, XK8s command very high prices compared to UK cars. Even some of the earlier cars fetch over $30,000 Australian - That's approximately £14,000, so our investment is significantly higher over here. Later models are closer to $50, 000!
