XKR sold. Au revoir, everyone :)

Well, I found a buyer for my car. He's coming to collect tomorrow from 350 miles away.
For information, I paid $21,000 for my XKR 3 years ago, spent about $6,000 on it in total, including light restoration, maintenance, tyres, insurance and fuel. Sold it for $28,000.
An appreciating classic?
Anyhow, thanks again for all the invaluable help I have received from this amazing forum. I would never have dared buy a Jaguar without you, as dealers are very few and far between here in France, so I'm pretty much on my own.
I am not intending replacing the Jag for a while, but as you know, I have always lusted after an Aston, or possibly an X150 XKR...
Don't tell the wife![Wink](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Indeed, hope the buyer shows back up with her on here. That car is too gorgeous to never again be seen! It continues to be an inspiration, and I want to sell mine for a coupe and Sepangs every time I see it.
Bon Voyage, Mr. Frog- and very well done on the relative investment you made with it!

Thanks for your good wishes ![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
The XKR drove off into the sunset this afternoon. The guy who bought it was very enthusiastic and paid in full without even taking it for a test drive first. I Google-Earthed his home address and it looked acceptable![Wink](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)
I have ordered a VW Up! (not sold in the US) to be delivered in a couple of weeks. Talk about downsizing![Big Grin](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
