The Background
The original XK8 (or X100) was arguably Jaguar’s first real sports car since the E-Type, as the XJ-S was much more of a grand tourer.
Even then, the XK was as much a GT as it was a sporty number. But the model that replaced it in 2006 was every inch a sports car.
The second generation of the XK (the X150) debuted at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, styled by Jaguar's chief designer Ian Callum. The X150's grille was designed to recall the shape of that of the 1961 E-Type, to drive home the fact it was a sports car.
The new model also featured a bonded and riveted aluminium chassis, shared with the XJ, and alloy body panels. Inside, wood was no longer standard as Jaguar targeted a younger demographic, while the cabin was simple and unfussy. A new era of Jaguar for a new era of customer. It was also an innovator – the first car in the world to feature under-bonnet airbags, which would automatically lift the bonnet up in the event of a pedestrian impact. A great way of getting around new pedestrian protection legislation without having to ruin the sleek and low styling.
The XK received a facelift in 2009 with minor alterations to front and rear lights and bumper designs, together with the introduction of a new 5.0-litre V8 for both the naturally aspirated XK and the supercharged XK R.
The interior also received some changes, in particular the introduction of the XF style rotary gear selector, operating a ZF automatic transmission.
This example is a 2010 XK R convertible, the top of the range XK of its day, with a 503bhp 5.0-litre supercharged V8 and a top speed (apparently) of 180mph.
The History
The XK was supplied new by RA Creamer’s of Kensington – the dealer of choice by Royal Appointment and one of the last surviving independent Jaguar retailers in the UK.
It began its life as a demonstrator and at just under a year old was sold to an owner in a very upmarket part of London. It was owned by him until last year, initially being maintained by Creamer’s and subsequently by an independent Jaguar specialist very nearby, which is staffed by a number of former RA Creamer’s technicians.
The vendor acquired it earlier this year as he’d always fancied one, but he has quite a collection of toys and it is no longer seeing much use.
The Paperwork
As well as the UK V5C and an MOT valid until April 2022, the XK comes with its original Jaguar book pack, along with a service book stamped at 2,731; 8,835; 18,254; 28,243; 35,842; 46,680; 56,337; 63,128; 69,290; 73,584 and 75,556 miles, most recently in April 2021.
It has covered less than 2,000 miles since.

The Exterior
This is an absolutely fantastic looking car from every angle, partly due to Ian Callum’s styling genius but also because of its remarkable condition. The bodywork is superb, with no dents or marks of any note and a deep, glossy shine. It’s clearly a car that has been well looked after.
The wheels are all in excellent condition with no kerb marks and it is shod with good Pirelli P-Zero tyres all round, suggesting a high level of maintenance.
All of the exterior trim and brightwork are in good order, and there is none of the headlamp cloudiness that sometimes affects older XKs.
The Interior
Aside from a very tiny amount of wear to the driver’s seat bolster, the XK’s cabin is in perfect order with no damage or deterioration. The touch screen infotainment system and sat nav are in good working order, as is the rotary gear control, while the premium Bowers and Wilkins stereo delivers fabulous sound quality.
It’s a very highly specced car, with optional walnut inserts to the dash.
The electronic roof is snug and cosy, yet lowers at the touch of a button to provide open air thrills, the mechanism operating perfectly.
The driving position is fabulous – you sit low in the cabin, in a snug-fitting sports seat, a subtle ‘Supercharged’ logo in the middle of the rev counter the only clue as to the sporting potential beneath the opulent luxury. This is a very special car indeed, and it was a very expensive one when new.
The Mechanics
The 5.0-litre V8 in the XK R is a magnificent thing, and it sounds absolutely terrific when you push the starter button. The exhaust has a deep and guttural rumble, a promise of the 503bp on offer.
It’s a unit that delivers startling acceleration – 0-60mph in 4.4 seconds and a top speed said to be around 180mph, accompanied by an addictive induction shriek from the supercharger – a truly unique and intoxicating noise.
The service history and regular maintenance this car has seen should mean it’s good for many more miles to come. There’s no excess smoke and all of the fluids are at the correct levels.
The Appeal
This is a truly gorgeous example of the ultimate XK, in fabulous condition and in one of the very best colour schemes. It comes with excellent provenance, a full service history and plenty of excitement to look forward to.
A great future classic that feels wonderfully well-made and is guaranteed to make you grin from ear-to-ear every time you drive it.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
