2006 Jaguar XK 4.2

As far as good-looking British coupe’s go, there aren’t that many to choose from that have been produced in the last twenty years, especially not that compete with the likes of Aston Martin and Ian Callum’s beauties. Thankfully Jaguar employed Ian shortly after his legendary penning of the timeless and classy Vanquish era cars at Aston Martin. Hence the gorgeous lines and smooth masculinity of the X150 cars. It has class and style in abundance – the Jaguar staple of grace, space and pace still lives on.

 

Not only were the looks drastically improved from the X100 platform, but the technical side of the car was also brought into the 21st century too, with a rear axle and suspension design that is befitting of a car of its era, not one 5 decades prior. Impressive braking performance and that 4.2 litre V8 creating a heady growl and putting out enough power and torque to surge you towards the horizon at a serious rate of knots. The gearbox is another real improvement on the platform, no more changes handled by a sloth posting them by Royal Mail on strike, you have flappy paddles to take control with sharp and crisp shifts, or buttery smooth auto that is always in the right gear. A very well-suited combination with the toque of the 4.2L, you’re never flustered for an overtake, that’s for sure.

 

The suspension is sportier and the car corners flatter than the prior XK’s, but with no loss of compliance, in fact they are surprisingly even more comfortable. There is more space in the cabin, rear seats and also in the boot, thanks to the fabulously engineered hatch. Press that right hand pedal and release the big cat under the bonnet by opening the exhaust up & we’re sure you’ll be smitten with this big kitten!

To add to all of that, this car, spec means that you have every conceivable mod con you’d actually want now, let alone in 2006!

 

Electric steering column,

Heated electric memory seats,

Alcantara headlining,

Premium audio stereo upgrade

Heated front and rear screen,

Keyless entry and go,

Auto dipping mirrors

Power fold mirrors…

 

…to name but a few, you’d be hard pushed to find a more opulent, sexy and swift way to travel for this money. There is also the peace of mind that we have looked after this car for the previous owner and know it to be absolutely spot on & wanting for nothing, it has been exceedingly well cared for.

 

Regardless of the season you can travel in complete comfort, whilst looking great in doing so, there really aren’t many better ways to cross continents.

 

The car is accompanied by two keys, full service history, by Jaguar main dealers and specialists including ourselves since 2020, with so many stamps in the book it is completely full. A raft of invoices and MOTs, plus it has just been serviced by us, with fresh tyres all round too, they don’t get much better.

 

The car has undergone our standard sales preparation, meaning a full machine polish and mechanical once over. So, all the new owner has to do is press the start button and you’re good to go! If you’re looking for an X150, this one will be well worth your time.
