I'm looking for a '98/'99 XK8 for around £17k and have seen a few with rebuilt engines for sale. Is this a common problem, and if so are there any tell tale signs when test driving?

I would love to own one of these fantastic big cats but am concerned .... HELP!!!

Not a bad suggestion, but i've heard TVR owners sell up in favour of (yawn) bimmers after a year!

What was it you are driving now?
