I owned one of theses a few years back, great car. Later found out they're the most reliable car in their class (large GT), and I can vouch for that. Main problem seems to be that they throw up dashboard warnings unless the battery is in tip top condition, so if you use it for weekends etc, invest in a CTEK battery conditioner or similar. Ps, if you remove the engine cover, it looks much better. There's two shiny intercoolers with 'Supercharged' stamped on them ☺️👍🏻

This car is based on exactly the same floor pan and underpinnings as the previous shape.. which also traced its roots back to the XJS. Ford took over Jaguar back in 1990 so were involved in both variants of the Xks. With its bloodline tracing back to the Xjs its Dna is proper Jaguar. The finish might not be as slick as some rivals - but these are tough old things and arguably mechanically more robust than a similarly aged Beemer.

Byron, the car has an all-aluminium monocoque chassis and completely different construction from the previous XK8/XKR (called the X100). The 4.2 engine is the big carryover, but other than that the X150 (2006-up) XK/XKR is a very different car.

I have a 2007 XKR soft top, with just 45K on the clock. The soft top does kind of ruin the lines of the car, but I don't care. I've had the back box replaced with an Adamesh kit, and with the roof down it's addictive, especially when you down shift (it barks like a Maserati). It turns far more heads than the Porsche 911 997 I sold to buy it. Best car I have EVER owned. Sadly though, I've put it in the garage and SORN'ed it. Just no point when you can't go out!!
