The Appeal
The X150 XK8 could only ever have been a Jaguar. With smooth, svelte lines by Ian Callum, effortless V8 power and a symphony of wood and leather inside, this advanced aluminium-bodied coupe combined a clear nod to the past with a firm foot in the future.
This 2006 coupe is from the first few months of production and looks fetching in Seafrost Metallic over Caramel leather interior. It is a very low mileage car with full service history, long MOT and significant expenditure by its attentive owner to prepare it for sale. Few cars deliver the ‘wow’ factor quite like a Jaguar coupe and this one looks enticing.
