The XK8 was launched in 1996 to replace the XJ-S. Two body styles were produced, a coupé and a convertible and the car was the first in the Jaguar line-up to use Jaguar's newly developed V8 engine. Introduced at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, the second-generation Jaguar XK range (codenamed X150) was styled by Ian Callum. Deliberately evoking the E-Type via its oval grille, ‘speeding teardrop’ glasshouse and muscular haunches, the newcomer featured bonded / riveted aluminium construction, all-round independent suspension, power steering and four-wheel disc brakes. The range-topping XKR variant was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds and 155mph.
The standard fit six-speed automatic transmission could either be left to its own devices or made to swap cogs by the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifts. A rival to the Porsche 911 and Mercedes-Benz SL, the Jaguar XK / XKR remained in production until 2014 by which time a mere 54,000 had been sold compared to 212,704 Porsche 997s and 169,443 Mercedes-Benz R230s.
This XKR is finished in the stunning combination of Gunmetal Grey metallic with a black leather upholstery and a black mohair hood. Having covered a modest 51,050 miles from new and with five former keepers, supporting service stamps and MoT history, this Jaguar is said to ‘drive very well’. Ideal for the summer months, or just a sunny day, this XKR Convertible is offered for sale with V5 registration document, owner’s pack and MoT test certificate valid until April 2026.
