Description
This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The December Timed Online Auction on Wednesday the 18th of December, Online. Background:Bodied in lightweight aluminium and styled to echo the iconic E-Type, the X150 XK8 is the modern classic convertible that drives as well as it looks, thanks to Aston Martin’s Ian Callum’s fine design work. The X150 was the second and final generation of the Jaguar XK 2+2 grand tourer dynasty, which built on the success of the XK8 and carried off the same concept in a modern, world-beating package.
The Car:This lovely 2006 example carries the much-loved 4. 2 V8 mated to a 6-speed automatic gearbox, tasked with putting the 296 horses onto the road. The vendor advises that the car was specced from new with factory sports seats, which further enhance its sporting credibility. Eight service stamps can be found in the car’s history. The car works perfectly and as intended, as does the electric roof. Recent work includes a fresh MOT, fresh service, and two brand-new front tyres, all of which give you peace of mind that the car is on the button and ready to enjoy some trips out into the countryside seeking pub lunches, or perhaps just the daily commute.
Summary:A well-cared-for and freshly serviced modern classic with a huge dollop of British charm.
