Hello everyone

Have just bought a black 2014 XKR-S. will probably pick it up toward the end of this week or early next once it’s been serviced and MOT’d. 
I had originally been looking for either an XK Dynamic R or an F Type but when the opportunity to buy the XKR-S presented itself it was no brainier.

Looking forward to some exciting road trips and conversations on this forum.

So have just arrived home from picking it up. What a car.

bodywork needs a proper detailing, especially the stone chips on front carbon fibre splitter but other than that drives like a dream. Has only done 14k miles from new and interior really shows that. 
Drove really sensibly on journey home and still only got 22.8mpg. Actually made me laugh more than anything else.

If anyone on here could tell me  where a CTEK charger connects on an XKR-S I’d be really grateful.

That sounds about right! I gave up trying to fdrive "sensibly" or "economically" when i discovered the best cruising speed for economy was an indicated 78mph on mine (actually ~73mph by GPS) and "!Removed!-footing" during acceleration wasn't exactly helpful either.

Takes a bit of trial and error to find the best speeds etc but you'll get there.
