Aah well, looks like the XK X150 and the S-type have a sister. The 1998 XJ8 X308 was found whilst casually looking around, and at just 65K miles and in rather lovely condition with a factory sunroof, and at a very good price, she has joined the stable, coming complete with the private plate, which doesn't hold any particular significance for us but looks nice! Needless to say, the XJ is a different drive altogether to the XK, also the S; not so nimble but a lovely floaty ride and very comfortable. At the moment we are happily moving through the various odds and sods which we have found, such as weak door check strap, and we need to add a set of mudflaps, but we think that the XJ8 X308 is just on the turn towards rising value and so nice to have around. Does, however, give us the quandary.......what to go out in on any particular day. The XK ('07 and only 9K miles covered, living in a Carcoon) is definitely high days and holidays; the S is, almost, a daily driver, so the 8 is, for the moment, reserved for occasional wafts around the countryside when we feel like a good chill. Well that's the theory! Mr Prescott, move over.
