This would be a foolish move, right?

whats that saying about jags looking amazing 20 years after they are new?

[Mark-C]

Do It!

Bought my 4.0 Facelift this year and have loved absolutely every moment and, accepting the 23 mpg, she has been fine to ruun so far.

[LukeBird]

Yes, very stupid.

Those headlights are dreadful.

Get an early XK8, much cooler than an XJS IMO. You need a chestwig for the latter and some sort of smoking device for the former (I personally would go with a cigar!).

[rob.kellock]

Mmm, those headlights??

Absolutely, they need reverting to standard.

having worked on a v12 lately its the worst car i have had the misfortune to deal with i kid you not different bolts used on suspention rot like i dont know what.poorly designed and even worse engineered id stay well clear mr g if i where you.

[schmalex]

Not foolish at all. My wife was running one of those when I first met her in '96.

It wasn't ruinous at all



ETA. Although she did boil the brake fluid coming down a particularly long, twisty hill, which led to a few brown trouser moments

Either you will love it, or it will love your bank balence. Id take the punt tbh, if I had the mooulahh.

My 1995 Celebration (Ice Blue) was the best car i've ever owned. I only had it 4 months or so but it never missed a beat..was smooth, quiet, brisk and there were NO rattles or shakes/trim falling off.

Everywhere she went she turned heads....stunning old cars, sooo much presence!!! Early XK8's like naff in comparison.

[Jayho]

Yes it is foolish...



SO DO IT!!!

[C2james]

You could always get it tuned up like the one James may drove on topgear?

[AndrewW-G]

Very Very foolish . . . . . . . just like almost everything else worth doing

[crmcatee]

Will you be getting driving gloves and leather patches put on the elbows of your jacket ?

[Simbu]

Extraordinarily foolish.




There's a V12 available

[forsure]

Absolutely. Head says 'No way', heart says 'Oh yes!'

[Sticks.]

What could possibly go wrong?

[W00DY]

Having managed that many miles it's clearly a good'un. You'd be mad not to.

The facelift is definitely the way to go.

[FRA53R]

Well it's managed 175000 miles so I'd go for it cause what could go wrong if the problems haven't been sorted by then y'know....
