Well, what Heel n Toe said is not something I'd ever considered and realized about lightning and soft tops. I've been thinking convertible thoughts my self with a 2008XKR Portfolio somewhere in the coming years after more garage space.
Kinda timely for a thread containing such a post to get struck while I'm wanting a convertible.

I'm at 75,000 miles on my Jaguar.

All it has needed is regular consumables, fluids/filters/tires/batteries.
Yes there are years and models with problems.
A 2009 XK isn't one of them.
I drive it hard, I get about 12,000 miles on the rear tires.

I like that old Jag, straight six was a better motor than the V-12, pity it is a two pedal car

Mine is also a 1994 AJ6. I have a completely new full leather interior and everything else was near mint already. The only thing I don't like is I have chrome XK8 wheels on it.
