Welcome to the Club, Dave.
I would have loved an XKR -- a future classic, -- but taking around a few grandchildren dictated the need for more room in the rear.
There are quite a few XKR owners in the club who will help with any issues that you might have.
If you look around on the forums you will see that Steve Sheldon has organised a really good event with a convoy of Jaguars into Brighton and some reserved parking there --- and that event is coming up soon.
There is a great variation in owners' cars in the Club --- from the E Type to the F type and a great deal of knowledge to be shared.
Regards,
Peter.
