Oh yes - he's finally been able to see pics of the car he put a deposit on after seeing a fax of a photo

As he's good mates with a Jag dealership, and had a few before owning 6 BMWs, he managed to get his name on the list to get one in March next year.

With 20" rims :D

Here's a pic in the colour he's chosen - Zircon

Jaguar XK (http://www.jaguar.co.uk/uk/en/vehicles/concept_cars/the_new_xk.htm)

...and he's also on the waiting list for the supercharged one due out 12 months later [jam

So bye bye Carrera 4S hello hatchback!

He still wants one, but doesn't want to wait 3 years or pay the £30k premium for a DB7
:rolleyes:

Good choice, can Jaguar get back to the top ? Maybe give Aston a run for there money with Superchaged version. Good web site tho
I'd still go for the DB9 :D

Scorcher im sure your dads gona love it, the new XK is a work of art they have been working on it for ages to make sure that it was absolutly perfect

Nice colour choice to and the SC will be fantastic

I cut my teeth in the motor trade working for Jaguar and Aston and they are great cars IMO build quality is great and there so nice to drive effortless power...

If he wants to tune it speak to Paramount Performance they do some wicked goddies for the XK

I loved the XK8 he had when they first came out - such smooth power delivery and a great howl on hard acceleration - much like a big BMW was one of those cars that you REALLY had to keep your eye on the speedo, as it was all to easy to be doing 120+

And as I was just borrowing while he was on holiday should have really been a little more careful :D
