Hi Petri!

I bought an XK8 Coupe just 8 days ago (I´m in Finland as well) - there are some aftermarket aerials available (attachment inside windscreen), they propably cost around 100 -200,- FIM. Thats one of the first purchases I will make in very near future. I´ve had a C5 Corvette some time ago, and it had that kind of installation (from factory) - worked perfectly!

BTW, Did you buy that black ´97 Coupe from Espoo? I bought mine from J.Rintajouppi (in exchange for my S-Merc), it came with some awful wheels - so now I´m looking something XKR-type 20" aftermarket wheels... but, prices are way too high! ;)

Good luck!


I just bought an used XK8 Coupe from a local Jaguar distributor (price was acceptable, I couldn't resist.. a new XK8 Coupe is $120k over here, XKR is $140k due the taxes).

While everything else is perfectly fine I'm not fond of the power antenna. It's just too visible compared to all the "normal" cars. I was wondering if there's a replacement kit available where the antenna would be "parked" down and a new antenna would be attached e.g. to the rear window (like S-Type) ?
