GTS1544

Greetings all! I am seriously looking at a 1997 XK8 convertible with 70K miles on her and know nothing about Jaguars except by reputation, some good and some not so good. Hence, I decided that I had better start educating myself! I am a 77-year-old, relaxed, retired airline pilot living the good life in Cheyenne, WY, with my wife of 44 years, possible only because neither of us takes ourselves too seriously! My wife has a thing for white, convertible sportscars and I figure that she has earned a shot at it. Don't want to rush into things in our mid-seventies! I earnestly solicit any advice from members of the panel as I have not yet made a commitment on this vehicle, which is owned by an 82-year-old Jaguar enthusiast. Give me the good, the bad and the ugly! While the car will not be our primary transportation, but a special occasions vehicle, it will be driven often enough to keep it in good shape. Thank you! George
