As my missus works for jaguar , she thought it rude not to borrow a new XK convertible test car for the weekend - what a car!
We had it up in the lakes all weekend (tis where the missus is from) , so we used it as an excuse to show off to her family!
Tech bit:
4.2l V8 370hp - normally aspirated
Power hood
Adaptive cruise control
Adaptive suspension
Amazing sat nav
intelligent headlamps (turn with the wheel)
and a massive amount of other bits - shame about the interior (looks to me like it could be an interior for the yanks!)
What do you chaps think of the car?

Blimey :shock: :shock:
I got a bit 'put-out' when one company quoted me F/C cover for about £550, when I was considering a Griffith instead of the Discovery, after playing with them at Bruntingthorpe (http://forums.mud-club.com/viewtopic.php?t=14956).
But £7300!!!
Daz, I think I'd prefer either the FHC, got to be the supercharged XKR though (if only for the 'whine') or it's Newport Pagnall cousin :wink:
-
Gosh....I think I got a good deal at under £600 for Bagheera then!!!
-
the new supercharged XK is coming along very soon............. :lol:
-
Very nice and nice to see you got it offroad as well :wink:
-
of course - every vehicle must have it's off road capabilities tested :lol:
