  1. Thanks Jim It is an XK not an XK 8 and I am led to believe it was built in December 2005 and registered early 200ing number 85 off the production line.... Its going to be a bit of a squeeze but it will fit..... just
  2. Hi Can anyone tell me , is the width of a 55 plate XK convertible quoted in specs when the door mirrors are extended or without? If anyone knows the full width with mirrors out could you please let me know, ( just buying an XK and checking if it will fit in my garage Chris Apologies for posting her but could not figure out how to generate new post
  3. I think that was me thank you
  4. Hi Jim Chris @ armthorpe has been recommended by a pal of mine who has an XJ and has known him for some time so I will definitely follow that up. Chris
  5. I have put a deposit on an XK 150 convertible 55 plate with 62k on and a full JSH to scratch an itch I have had for a few years. It has a great service history having been owned for 7 years by an JEC owner and I have looked at the car in some detail and test driven. Can I ask a couple of questions Maintenance Are maintenance costs as high as some suggest ? ( I appreciate they will be higher than average but have seen some horror stories) Over winter storage I am picking it up in a week or so when I will probably have a few local runs then store over winter until spring. Are there any specific recommendation or suggestions that people do when they put them away for winter? Water in boot I did find water in the boot and it was suggested this was because it had just been jet washed which did not convince me 100% Is there a common issue with water ingress into the boot and if so should I be concerned or is there a known issue and fix ? I feel I have done as much as possible to check the car over and as I said, the service history is impeccable but are there any specific things I should look for before I pay final amount and collect the vehicle? Thanking you in anticipation Chris
