I like the older lighter ones!

totally ridicuous. I was looking forward to quiet American roads

The xkes really need five speeds or overdrive here in the states, as they changed the rear end ratio to give it more off the line (the later year dual stromberg carbs and reduced compression had to be compensated for. So although the later cars are really great off the line (of course no where...

Mine is the last of the series two, a late 71. I think that when they stretched it into the v12, it lost a lot of its looks. I have had mine since about 1996, had always wanted one since I was 14. My across the street neighbor let me drive a freshly off lease xke in 1969, and as I was flying...

congratulations! Every car collector needs an xke. I always say that my jag will be the last car I will sell

my 2006 last of the vin is 401385

if they can find the parts!

can certainly be repaired, but with the miles, the hard damage, the expense and time to find the parts, the aftermarket wheels ,the blown air bags the salvage title, this one should be a donor

yes but have also not been able to figure it out does sound like it is coming from around the windshield

I got mine at oreilly's and then transferred the original sticker, cannot tell the difference! Funny my original optima lasted 12 years, my second just over one year, now on my third so far so good

thanks for posting

were people happier back then? Seems it

totally agree with the concern about the welding. Bolt on parts are not so bad, (like the rear clamshell) but frame welding, frame pulling, bent suspension points, are very worrisome, especially considering who is doing the repair.

so we can imagine on a very hot summer day, all of the home AC units blasting, everyone returning home and plugging in their electric car at virtually the same time and the power grid shutting down in the whole time zone blowing every transformer

The world is certainly not prepared yet for electric cars
