The Appeal
There are few cars with the impact of the Jaguar XK series. A smooth, flowing shape with a tinge of retro styling, a powerful V8 and swift handling made for an effortlessly cool, powerful and fast GT. It was the Jaguar that defined a generation.
This vehicle has spent most of its life in Japan, meaning a relatively dry life with no salted roads. The result is that it's still in excellent condition with minimal corrosion and very well-kept paintwork. Its relatively low UK mileage means that the car is still in import condition - a sparkling example of a beautifully maintained XKR.
