Hi Charlie Have owned an XK8 in 97 keep it for 6 years then more recently had an XK 4.2 litre for 7 years. Got my new F-type Coupe V6S at Easter. What a car.... Performance is great, plenty of space in the front. Did also look at the Porsche Carman S and the new BMW 435i. Absolutely made made the right choice. Go for it!!
