Your mechanical mastery of changing number plates is unmatched.

@texanfournow 2 ай бұрын

This is something I do not understand, at least from an American perspective. What is the concern for plates? In the U.S., unless you order vanity or cause plates, no one cares, and certainly would not pay $$ to replace standard plates. OK, I am done now, thank you!

@johnmclean1046 2 ай бұрын

@@texanfournow I imagine it’s all part of making the car look nicer, better maintained and cared for, it’s the small details that a lot of people notice, and that reflects on the business selling the car / product. That’s my view.

It's a good one because it doesn't have the mega dated Sat Nav, instead having the classically elegant dials.

I had one same year. Rust is a problem. One thing I should mention to any prospective buyer which is never mention in buyers guides, always check the heater blows hot air. The heater has its own 12V booster pump. They go wrong not especially expensive. However official jaguar way to change it is to remove the gearbox. It can be done by removing the inlet manifold, a bit fiddley but possible

Had one of those in blue with the wider Detroit wheels. Lovely car. Had the cream interior with the grey-ish wood. A little less pipe/slippers than yours in my spec, which it needed to be really, I was in my early 30s when I had it. Wound up that supercharger whenever I could. Yours is lovely though, but even though it's 20 years later for me, I still look at that interior and think 'old'. Give it another 10 years!

I had this edition. A beautiful black XKR with all the extras..it seemed like a Bond car and in my opinion the most beautiful modern Jaguar. Both adults and kids turned their heads when it went by, the later one didn't do that. I sold it mostly because I didn't fit, even on the lowest setting my head touched the roof, beware if you're around 6,2 or 187cm . Why did they make it with such a low roof for the driver? Pity.

Hi Matt, Thanks for the great video, I was looking forward to it. I've been driving a 2003 XK8 convertible for the sunny days of the year for five years and enjoy every mile of it. I'm surprised at the prices mentioned in the video. In 2019 the car should cost 23,000 euros in Germany. It had a mileage of 83,000 US miles. Last year I had an appraisal done by an independent expert. The XK8 currently has a replacement value of 27,200 EUR, although it shows more signs of wear than the one you drove.

Agree with you about the colour combo looks great - I notice you don't make any "Werthers" quips about Jaguar's these days?🙂 The original XK & XKR had the underpinnings of the old XJS that date back to the 70's so I think it is now very much a modern classic whereas the series 2 could still be a daily driver and I think I prefer the looks (slightly) of the later model. Still a very nice car for someone.
