New Member in Cornwall
Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2023 10:59 am
Good morning all.
I have just joined, having become the (hopefully!) proud owner of a 2004 XK8 coupe, purchased privately in south London 3 weeks ago, 250 miles from my home in Cornwall. It is black with ivory interior, and BBS split rim 20" Detroit wheels, which have just been re-finished in original Oyster Gold, with new rim protectors, and looks pretty stunning. It has covered 74,000, miles with a fat history file, having had 3 owners, two of whom were father and son, owning it for all but the first 3 years.
It is going in for a full service and inspection in Wadebridge on Tuesday, to find out exactly what I have bought!
It does have a couple of issues which did not manifest themselves until the journey home, which I will post about under the relevant headings.
I look forward to meeting some of you at events later in the year.
