It has a clean MOT of course and only 75860 miles and presenting really well with no corrosion issues whatsoever. Registered in 2005 it's clearly one of the final run Special White Badge edition XK100s with all the improvements and refinements that those models benefitted from. This car drives superbly, pulling hard through the ZF 6 speed gearbox (a far better box than the previous units) and feels quick and extremely responsive. It pulls on well on good brakes and big fat Pirelli P-zero tyres on the rear and brand new Devanti tyres on the front. Being the 4. 2-S special edition the car was also specified with the 19” Atlas alloy wheels. Only 4 previous keepers too. I absolutely love these lovely Jaguar grand tourers. They were brilliant when they were launched and just got better and better and represent superb value for money. Seriously what else can you buy that will handle as well as this car will in supreme comfort whilst accelerating to 60 miles per hour in 6. 5 seconds? Buy this car and you'll love it.

The 4. 2-S special edition models unveiled at the 2005 Geneva International (1 March) marked another advance for the Jaguar XK.

Available as either coupe or convertible, with a choice of two V8 engines – one of them supercharged, the 4. 2-S was offered in four new limited edition exterior colours – Copper Black Metallic, Frost Blue Metallic, Bay Blue Metallic and Satin Silver Metallic – in addition to the wide palette already in existence. With three interior colours and two distinct veneer options for the instrument panel, XK8 models offered a new luxurious Elm wood veneer as standard for the interior trim, while XKR cabins were lined with a sporty Carbon Fibre veneer set, with Elm veneer as a non-cost option. A new interior carpet colour, Dove, was also offered for the first time on a Jaguar.

In recognition of Jaguar's racing heritage, special badging and accents adorned the new models, including the 4. 2-S. Polished door treadplates feature chequered flag emblems and leather-edged embossed floor mats line the footwells. The revised white Jaguar Growler badge on the bonnet also featured new chequered flag accents on the sides of the emblem. New darkened rear light clusters further enhance the sporting credentials of the Jaguar XK range.

The XK8 models feature 19-inch 'Atlas' style wheels, while the XKR models get a new, unique 20-inch split rim BBS Perseus performance wheel. The XKR also gets cross-drilled Brembo brake discs, red wheel badges and red brake callipers to reinforce its sporting credentials.
