Congratulations on the purchase of a stellar car. I've had my 5.0L 2010 XKR for over 10 years and it passed 201,000 miles last week. Tracked many times, still daily driven, and still a pleasure to drive and look at everyday. It will never leave my ownership as long as I can still drive. It has also been the most reliable automobile I've owned in over 55 years of driving. Spectacular car! Enjoy yours.

I'm sorry you lost your dad, but happy that he left you with a love of Jaguars. I'm in my 60s and if any of my sons love them because I did, that would be good. I have a 2009 XK 5.0 and it's an amazing car.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your dad! I am a Jaguar lover also. I have owned the 2010 XF, 2016 XJ Supercharged and now the 2015 XK Portfolio Coupe. Beautiful car... I love it!❤; I am in my 60's and pray that if something should happen to me that my son and daughter would carry on my love for Jaguars. 🙏

I have a 2009 XKR Portfiolio Edition....Best car I've ever owned.

You have a very, very nice XK and I'm sure your Dad would be proud of you carrying on the Jag ownership in the family. I've had my 2010 XK for four years now and it will be my pride and joy for many more years to come.

My late father was in motor industry, grew up in Coventry, used to periodically pass Brown’s Lane factory. Now in my 40s, entering XK ownership for a V8, before, as you say!, the world goes completely mad. Looking forward to following your channel.

I loved the pciture of the Jaguar XJ you had in this video . There was just something about the lines of them that was great and of course chrome trimings

I had a 2007 Jaguar XK in British Racing Green. Wonderful automobile. I wish they still made them.

Congrats on your acquisition. One of the prettiest cars ever made in my opinion and I'm sure your dad would've loved it. I've heard the XK referred to as a muscle car with a PhD, and after having my 2013 XKR for almost a year, I'd say that's an accurate description. What initially surprised me is just how "livable" these are. Lots of boot space, smooth ride, sublime interior. You can drive these like a wild animal or poke around town running errands. It's perfectly happy doing either. In terms of performance and style, I think these have been one of the best values on the used market for the past few years, and some people might kick themselves for not picking one up when they were available at relatively reasonable prices. It very well may be Jaguar's last proper GT ever, and that makes these pretty historically significant for the nameplate in my opinion.

Just watched this on the telly and subscribed. Looking forward to the next episode

She looks a beauty, hope you enjoy her & you have another subscriber 👍

Just bought one same as yours 2008 in silver stunning looking cars nothing to touch them for the money enjoy

Very nice. Nice choice of colors. I have 4 Jags now and I had many in the past, i ab's love em

I own the same, identical - my daily drive, 185k on clock and runs soooo smoothly. I cannot part with it. Great video and introduction. Thanks for posting 👍

I have a 2006 that I bought in 2011 and I still love it. Regarding paint, modern Porsche are aluminium so plenty of body shops can sort paint issues, I would recommend finding a really good independent specialist for maintenance as they will be more thorough than Jag. and will investigate faults beyond plugging it into a computer. Finally if replacing the battery get one from Jaguar themselves it will save you hassle and money in the end. Batteries from other brands just don’t cut it.

Nice car I do like the early jags

Nice car, Enjoyed this,great value the jags, Sorry you lost your dad,lost mine 6 years ago and it's tough but they'd want us to be happy 👍 All the best and I'm sure your dad's proud and looking down.

That’s a lovely car… how much did that set you back? I know you will love this. I bought one recently and they really are all that!!! Well done mate and keep us updated.

The timing chain problem on the earlier XK100, was down to the plastic tensioners they were fitted with prior to 2002 . They had a habit of fragmenting and this lead to catastrophic engine failure. Post 2002 they were replaced with metal tensioners.

I also have the quad exhaust on mine and highly recommended it. Mine is like yours, not supercharged. Sounds magnificent!

Nice car. Keep us updated.

before I go any further ..so sad for you losing your dad I know how you feel its your best mate to..but just like your farther I had an xj6 4.2 ..then I had a xj6 sovereign..then I had a xj40 Daimler..beautiful car..and then I had a x type 3.0 litre..then I had a 3.0 litre s type lovely car..now I have a xf.2.2 nice car..but getting back to your dear dad ..once you have a jaguar you always have a jaguar..your x.k looks really nice..myself I am looking for an x.k just for weekends looking forward to going to have a good look around..thank you fella for a great video...Good luck and God bless..

I'm doing the same shortly, getting a 2006-7 4.2, going to go for the blue with cream interior though, nice contrast, same reasons as you, before all the world goes electric I want one of the most beautiful cars made in my garage! Hopefully in the next 4 weeks i'll have it, so looking forward to sharing tips!

Paul you had hair clips back then 😂

Thanks for the step by step videos on the xk...I also have the 2006 but mine is in Adriatic blue.... watching in order..I've had mine for nearly 3 years..home work and a good local independent garage specialist..lots to learn ..have you done one with the reversing lights out..? Thanks again.. Trevor

Great video of a great car. Looking forward to more instalments. One observation / question - there seems to be something not quite right about your side windows. They should drop by about 10-15mm when you pull the door handle but yours seems to be dropped all the time? Mine is a 2011 5.0 Special Edition in black cherry that is definitely a keeper

That’s stunning. I’ve always loved the XK’s.. the XKRS is such a beast! You could put tiger paint on it with chrome spinners & it would still look like a beast.. I don’t know why JAAGGG didn’t make the RS models rear biased 4WD.. has to be my favourite cars of all time!

Nice! I bought my 07 XK 2.5 years ago as a 'daily driver'. Something rumbly to compliment my other toys. And I absolutely love it! Looks gorgeous. Feels nice. Sounds nice. I think mine is a keeper. It's the longest I've owned a daily driver. I have no plans to replace because I think 'what the hell would I replace it with?' So much car for the money! Enjoy!

Hi iv been watching your videos I have same car can you tell me what the relays operate in the engine bay fuse box thanks

Well ahead of the times with this one. Styling looks like it just come out the factory

Congrats on the purchase, miss the sound check in this video

Nice car, didn't know about those bonnet air bags. stop looking at the screen when talking to the camera look at the lens, practice it by yourself until you get comfortable with it.

I am X100 convertible model owner 😊 you should try next 🥴

Sorry about your dad mate 🙏🏻🙏🏻

where did you get your caliper logos from? I want some. mine are red too.

How many miles on this XK?

Honestly, what’s the sound system like? The basic one or alpine

it really is a lovely shaped car, the wheels, and calipers look so good. i bet your dad would have liked it, i know mine would have.

How much was it ?

Any ideas how you can Bluetooth your phone to the entertainment system ??

Purchased a 63 plate XK Portfolio hoping to do Peak District , Cumbria , and the western northern Scotland coast 😊 what a beautiful driving experience ! I’ve owned a good few brand named high end luxury cars and they were lovely to drive 😊 but not quite as nice as the JJJAAAAAG ! 😂 👍🏻

Does the car have a lot of problems???
