The Appeal
The Jaguar XK Portfolio is a refined and elegant grand touring coupé or convertible, combining British sophistication with modern performance. With its sleek, aerodynamic design, the XK Portfolio maintains a classic Jaguar look, featuring a long, sculpted bonnet and a powerful stance on the road. The exterior design is complemented by subtle details like chrome trim, 19-inch alloy wheels, and LED taillights, creating a car that is as beautiful as it is aggressive.
This example is reported to have originally been on the Jaguar executive fleet, where it is said to have been used by an “illustrious lady.” It has been owned by the vendor for the past six years, and with it seeing less use over the past couple of years, he has decided to let this well-specified Portfolio edition Jaguar XK go to a new home where someone else can enjoy the fantastic sound, performance, and luxury of this British grand tourer.
