Description
Overview
27k miles from new
2008 Jaguar XK 4. 2 V8 Convertible (X150), finished in Frost Blue metallic with an Caramel leather and contrasting wood veneer. A particularly elegant and period-correct colour combination that suits the Ian Callum–designed XK perfectly and highlights the car’s clean, timeless lines.
Built on 06 February 2008 and supplied new to the Japanese market, this is a factory right-hand-drive example, benefiting from Japan’s dry climate and careful ownership. As a result, the car retains original panels and paintwork throughout and has never been used on salted road surfaces.
Power comes from the naturally aspirated 4. 2-litre V8 petrol engine, paired with the ZF 6-speed automatic transmission using Jaguar’s traditional J-gate selector. This engine is widely regarded as one of Jaguar’s most refined and durable V8 units, delivering smooth, effortless performance with a classic V8 soundtrack, without the added complexity of later supercharged or diesel powertrains.
The aluminium-intensive X150 platform marked a significant step forward for the XK, offering reduced weight, improved rigidity, and sharper handling while retaining true grand touring comfort. With the roof down, it delivers an authentic open-air GT experience; with the roof up, it remains refined, quiet, and secure.
