Mrs SSO just posted her first car article on the Jaguar XKR: http://karenable.com/2018/06/my-first-s ... aguar-xkr/

Let me know what you think off it.

Spot on - always good to hear actual ownership experience, warts n all.

Are Fortnum & Mason items a standard boot measure?

Pretty sure RichB uses that scale.

Only peasants measure boot capacity in litres these days.

Wonder how much the repairs would have been without the warranty

Probably just cheaper to throw it away and buy a new one by the sounds of it

Likely would have landed in debtors prison.

I measure boot capacity in dead bodies, a trick I picked up from Mark_BT52.

I'm not sure what that says about us.

Nice write up SSO. I had a same gen XKR coupe out in Mallorca and my experiences were similar, the engine was very reliable, the electrics less so... can’t tell how many times they tried to get the windows to drop and then rise again when the door was closed.. I once took three blokes for a ride up in the mountains- I’m not sure they ever forgave me!

OK

They were certainly sore by the timed I finished!

The window issue brings back quite a few memories.

We never got more than 3 in the car and sitting in the back was loathed.
