2014 Jaguar XK 5.0 Signature Coupé

Finished in Dark Sapphire with an Ivory hide interior, ‘WV64 TDZ’ was sold by Grange Jaguar of Swindon on the 11th of July 2014, just ten days after having been built.

A genuine right-hand drive, UK-spec XK 5.0-litre Signature Coupé, it’s been serviced every single year on the dot despite only having covered 33,000 miles.

As you’d expect, it presents beautifully, has considerable presence, and drives very, very well indeed. 

The seller bought it as an approved used car from the dealership that sold it originally, and it’s only being offered for auction because he’s running out of space – and as two of his other cars are a convertible XK and a DB9 Coupé in a very similar colour, his XK Coupé has become redundant.

With only a dozen years under its belt you’d have every right to expect the XK to look good – and that’s exactly how it is: With factory-tight shutlines still and no significant dents, dinks or ripples, the metalwork provides a taut and undamaged canvas for the Dark Sapphire paintwork, paint code JBM, to shine.

And shine it does, with the somewhat unusual metallic-flecked hue giving the XK a timeless elegance some other colours lack.

The numberplates still bear the Grange Jaguar Land Rover logo of the supplying dealer, which is another good sign and one that’s supported by the clear HPI report that accompanies the car.

The lamp lenses, badges, and glazing are all beyond reproach, and the twin tailpipes are perfectly aligned within their respective apertures. 

The 20-inch Takoba alloy wheels have a few scuffs and scrapes to their rims, but the tyres are Dunlop SP Sport Maxx on all four corners. 

We will never get tired of telling you that experience shows that matching high-quality tyres are an infallible sign of a caring and mechanically sympathetic owner who is prepared to spend the appropriate amount in maintaining their car properly. 

As for flaws, apart from the usual stonechips and minor marks every car collects over the years the paint has faded near the offside headlamp, and there’s a scratch under the nearside door mirror with another on the nearside rear wing plus a few on the driver’s door above the chrome trim.

Given this stellar service history, it’s little wonder that the Jaguar starts well, idles perfectly, revs smoothly, and goes like stink.

The exhaust also makes the same noise as the Devil when he’s trodden on a piece of LEGO – and it does it all without illuminating any dashboard warning lights. 

The engine bay also presents very well indeed, as does the underside. The rear subframe was professionally treated with Lanoguard in November 2024, but some of the seams and brackets elsewhere show some rust, and it would be prudent to get this sorted sooner rather than later.

That said, the Jaguar’s MoT certificate is valid until November 2026 and it, just like the previous two, was issued with no advisories. 

The recent Vehicle History Check is also clear, and it comes with two key fobs.

The history file includes the Jaguar wallet and book pack, a Production Record Trace Certificate from the Jaguar Heritage Trust, and a heap of invoices to confirm the service and repair work we reported above.

This classic Jaguar sportscar inspires the same confidence on the race track as it does on the autobahn or a winding country lane. 

Uber-reliable, this one’s epic service history and stunning condition provides yet another layer of reassurance. 

Best of all, we suspect the hammer will fall somewhere between £18,000 and £23,000; we doubt you can go faster and harder and make a better noise for less.
