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. Powered by either a 4. 2-litre V8 or 5. 0-litre engine, both in supercharged or non-supercharged form, 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 (997) and Mercedes-Benz SL (R230), the Jaguar (X150) 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).
Manufactured in 2006, the XK Convertible offered was registered new on the 16th of June and is finished in the striking colour combination of Zircon Blue paintwork with complementary Caramel leather interior upholstery and a Black hood. Wearing plate ‘LJ 9’ from virtually new until exiting first ownership in 2019, the Jaguar is offered now having covered just 47, 000 miles from new and had just a mere two former keepers. Supplied with a history file that includes the book pack with stamped service book which illustrates thirteen services, almost all from Jaguar main agents, with one from a Rolls-Royce/ Bentley specialist (the most recent) last year at 45, 010 miles. Rated by the vendor as having ‘very good’ electrical equipment, paintwork and interior trim, the bodywork, engine, and gearbox are all rated as ‘excellent’.
