Since 1996, Jaguar has offered the XK model, with the redesigned version making its debut at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany. Styled by Jaguar's then Chief Designer, Ian Callum, the XK combined elegant design with serious performance. Its lightweight aluminium body, paired with the 5.0-litre engine, delivered exhilarating acceleration with minimal effort, achieving 0-60 mph in just 5.2 seconds and a limited top speed of 158 mph from its 385 bhp powerplant. The XK successfully blended extreme performance, renowned luxury, and relevant technology, all expressed in a way that connected the driver to the car and the car to the road. Its world-class technology was empowering, yet never overwhelming, preserving the purity of the driving experience. This highly successful formula has helped the model achieve new status as a credible modern classic Jaguar, especially following the final XK models offered in July 2014 and the end of the XK line. So, could there be a better proposition for those seeking the next certain modern classic Jaguar? I believe there is. In 2012, Jaguar introduced the XK Artisan Special Edition to its already impressive line-up. These now rare examples further enhanced the XK's sense of luxury through beautifully handcrafted 'Artisan' interiors, polished 20-inch Orona multi-spoke alloy wheels, and bespoke interior inlays. The result was an even more distinctive and desirable model, offering heightened opulence alongside exceptional comfort. Fast forward to 2019, and the Jaguar XK has only continued to grow in popularity, with discerning buyers seeking out the very best examples available. I firmly believe that, with its sensational colour combination, exceptionally low mileage, and outstanding overall condition, this car represents a particularly exciting opportunity for its next lucky keeper.
