The Appeal
What the original XK8 established, its X150 successor undoubtedly improved. To the appealing blend of sleek E-Type-esque styling, heritage-inspired luxury and smooth ride, the new XK added lighter, nimbler handing and even more power.
From 2009 buyers got the improved 5litre Gen III AJV8 that delivered a heady 375bhp in standard form. There was also the option of Portfolio specification, which leaned into the sumptuous luxury that Jaguar buyers appreciate.
The aluminium, corrosion-resistant construction of these later XKs and their long-distance cruising skills makes them popular as indulgent daily drivers and road trip companions. This very tidy 5litre Portfolio would do either very well, helped by the versatility of its convertible roof.
The trick when buying these cars is to find one that has been looked after and sparingly used. This one ticks both those boxes. Sporting a smart colour scheme, recent service and advisory-free MOT, it is ready for warm weather motoring.
