2006 Jaguar XK Convertible

This particular Jaguar XK was first registered in 2006 and is equipped with the larger 4.2 litre V8 engine. It has very recently just ticked over 65,000 miles which given it’s age, is relatively low. Since the time it was first registered, the car has had only four former keepers and comes with a fully stamped service book and a handful of paperwork which documents various expenses.

When not in use, the car has been stored in a dry garage where it has been covered to protect the paintwork.

As one walks around the XK, it quickly becomes apparent that its design is a harmonious fusion of timeless elegance and contemporary flair. Its sleek and aerodynamic profile exudes a sense of grace whilst the classic British Racing Green paintwork accentuates beautifully its heritage and sporting pedigree; we couldn’t help but bask in it’s beauty. The paintwork looks great and if there is one colour to chose when looking for such a car, this is most certainly it. We saw very few imperfections to note.

Furthermore, the panel alignment throughout is good with no dinks or dents that we noticed. The front end is relatively free from stone chips, that we could see and the chrome work that houses the iconic Jaguar emblem looks to be in fair condition too. The emblem itself is starting to show its age, and in our opinion, could do with a refresh.

The headlights and rear light clusters are clear and bright and also show no signs of fading from

sunlight or old age. The model designation badges and other chrome features that are placed sparingly around the XK look fantastic and are showing no signs of any pitting or wearing.

The XK sits on 19’’ 10 spoke alloy wheels and is finished in the correct silver paint. The front wheels are wrapped in Uniroyal Rainsport 5’s whilst the driving axle benefits from a pair of Dunlop SP Sport Maxx. All alloys are free from any curbing or road rash.

Stepping inside the XK and one is greeted by a sumptuous caramel leather and burr walnut trim that exudes nothing but luxury and comfort. The attention to detail is evident throughout the cabin with high quality materials and craftsmanship that reflect Jaguar’s dedication to providing excellence.

The driver-centric cockpit puts all controls within easy reach. Utilising a double din touch screen infotainment system that incorporates all the controls and comfort functions that one should need ensuring a seamless driving experience. To our knowledge, all the functions and controls are working as intended to do so.

The seats provide excellent support, whether one is embarking on a spirited drive or enjoying a leisurely cruise. The leather on the seats has aged brilliantly with little to no marks to mention, with the bolsters and cushions on both seats presenting very well indeed. The rear seats are also in good condition with no imperfections to note.

As an overall, the condition of the leather and other materials inside the cabin is in rather fine shape. Given that the vehicle is 17 years old, there are few imperfections to note. The leather atop of the gear selector is looking a little worn and there are a few marks around the cabin, with the most obvious being on the rear passenger speaker quarter.

This Jaguar XK 4.2 needs nothing. The engine bay is well presented with all covers being in their correct positions and fastened securely.

The XK starts as it should do with the V8 engine roaring into life and idling with a deep harmonious sound. The car was moved whilst it was being photographed and we can confirm that it selects gears with ease with no crunching or grinding when switching between D and R.

The underside shows that all the original under trays are in place and more importantly, intact. Whilst the underneath of the car shows a build up or dirt and grime, we are pleased to report that we saw no signs of heavy corrosion.

The XK comes with a valid MOT until 16.10.2023 and shows no advisories. Unfortunately there are no previous MOT certificates that come with the vehicle and generally the paperwork is light.

The Jaguar has a full service history and has a service book complete with all stamps from main dealers and specialists. Servicing has been completed regularly and is inline with the manufacturer’s recommended service intervals. The most recent service was carried out on 22.12.22 where an assortment of work was completed including fresh 5W30 oil, coolant top up, replacement rear lower shock bush and replacement parking sensor amongst other items.

As far as Jaguar XK’s go, this is definitely one that stands out the most. Finished in the iconic British Racing Green with contrasting caramel leather interior, it has to be arguably one of the nicest specified Jaguar XK’s that we have seen. Furthermore, if you are looking for something that blends performance and practicality into a perfectly crafted package, then you need look any further.

We estimate this Jaguar will reach anywhere between £18,000 - £23,000.
