I owned that very xkr after you guys. It's gone to a new home and had an absolute fortune spent on it. Love the xk8/r.

Those lovely old days . The 2009 XJ was the last real Jaguar .

I agree with the rust. Not only in the bodywork but in the chassis and horrendously expensive to fix on a car that will be worth less than the repair

@gititgotitgood Ай бұрын

my 01 xkr has no rust, i dont drive it unless weather is fitting, regular scheduled maintenance is key too.

Saw the first of these built in their factory outside Coventry, Brown's Lane in L-somewhere, in 1995. Line split, one way for six cylinder, other to V8 engine fit. Wood panels department down the side.

Great Vid. I want one !

Great review! Interesting that convertibles are still more expensive in the UK, as here in the US the coupes have started to overtake them in price, as they are both rarer and better looking.

Interesting!

@smurfy1543 6 ай бұрын

In the US, and I hate convertibles. They diminish the aerodynamic styling that a coupe has.

I do like these and had a 4.2 convetible for a while. Think perhaps the rust issue was not emphasised enough in this summary. Lovely cars and very undervalued overall though.

They do rod bearings on the ring apparently, just ask tavarish 😁

@tbm17 6 ай бұрын

should we avoid the versions before 2001? I am considering a 1999 with metal chain tensioners and a clean service book, but your video makes me think again...

@ClassicsWorldUK 6 ай бұрын

Not at all! If it's rot-free and has the later water pump and metal tensioners, you're good to go :)

My XKR well maintained 2002 MY car was absolutely superb.. Never buy one of these (or any other used car) without a full service history.. Why would you.

@Camrocok 8 ай бұрын

The XK8 is one of the most expensive cars I have ever owned in terms of running costs. I have spent mega money with so called Jaguar specialists. There really are some cowboy Jag specialists out there which spoils the ownership experience

@markthornton9725 8 ай бұрын

I've had my 2001 xkr convertible for 18 years now. I maintain it myself and installed all the upgrades from the 4.2. Exciting to drive and I STILL can't stop looking at it! Great report, very accurate. As mentioned , not enough emphasis on the rust issues particularly the rear of the sill. Can be horrific if you don't keep on top of it. Take off the rear silencer box and run a straight pipe through. Sounds fantastic!!

My only comment is Jaguar is sold in Europe ànd the US. Give me the prices in UA dollàr. Personally the XKE was the last really a JAG. I LOVE THE XKE 120, 140 and the XKE. I love British sports cars!!!!

The plastic lower dash panelling looks very 1980's Austin-Rover MG, bit tacky.

I always fancied one but the government CO2 BS has put paid to that. All cars should pay the same VED, not split into some farcical whim. I had a pre 2005 Vauxhall Monaro and then the tax brackets shifted.
