2013 Jaguar XK Portfolio

This XK was purchased new by the current seller’s wife, and ‘garaged religiously’, it’s very clear to see that the car has been afforded the utmost of care and attention during its 10 years with its one and only owner and with only 57,155 miles its very attractive mileage is the cherry on top.

Due to the car being cherished by its only owner there is comprehensive service history which seems to only be regular maintenance items and there is even the original spec sheet and order form. This car is in fine condition and comes with a strong configuration and will surely be a tempting prospect for those in the market for something good looking and sporting.

This really is a stunning looking car; those minor exterior updates have given the Jag a subtle but effective facelift and the silver paint work shows off the sporting lines perfectly. There is very little around the car to note in terms of chips, scuffs or blemishes, there are of course some on the front bumper and a small section on the back of the rear passenger side wheel arch. Aside from that though this is certainly a car you’d look back at once parked up.

The wheels look to be in excellent condition with little to no curbing, marks or lacquer peel and the tyres look to be new as of 2021 so should have plenty of life left in them. The rest of the exterior features are in fine condition too with the chrome mesh grille finishing off that slightly revised front bumper nicely, help too by the new headlights and LED rear lights.

Cream leather upholstery is the order of the day inside the Jag and it again shows very little wear, the only things to note are the slight creasing on the driver’s side external bolster, some minor scuffing where you swing your feet round to enter and exit and some spots on the steering wheel leather that look as though the leather dye has been snagged. Aside from these minor issues the interior is in remarkable condition.

The rear seats in the XK were always ‘just for decoration’ and in this example it looks as though they have not been used. The same goes for the passenger seat, there isn’t even any creasing to the bolsters. Perhaps it is safe to say this was a one-person vehicle for nearly its entire life, as the condition of the passenger side carpet might back up.

All the instruments in the XK are reported to be working as intended as are all switches, dials and features such as AC. There is a ‘Check Pedestrian System’ light on which refers to the system designed to reduce injuries from low-speed impacts with pedestrians. Online research suggests that this is not an uncommon fault and can easily be rectified by a quick visit to your local Jaguar dealer.

The revised XK range keeps its luxury focus whilst updating the historically poor interior quality and adding some much-needed sporting credentials.

Unsurprisingly the bonnet area housing the new 5.0 litre power plant is superbly clean, neat and tidy. Much of the ‘bones’ of the Jag’s engine is hidden with plastic covers but what we can see is in good condition with no signs that might cause excessive worrying. The metalwork in the engine bay is wonderfully clean, the strut tower tops for example look clean enough to eat your dinner off.

It’s the same story under the body, there is far less wear and tear you’d expect from a 10-year-old car but with only 50,000 odd miles its perhaps unsurprising, especially knowing the care this car has received during its life.

All components visible under the car look to be in good health with the exhaust system being the main one showing very little signs of any wear. The underside matches the topside then, nice and clean and well looked after.

The XK comes with its original paperwork, owner’s manual with leather holder as well as a full V5C and a valid MOT until June this year.

The car has been MOT and serviced every year routinely as shown from the online service check paperwork. It also looks as though the car has been looked after by the same garage since new which should make it easier to consolidate any outstanding information on the status of the mechanicals of the car.

There is two keys that come with the XK and whilst this car has been afforded a high level of care, we would advise all our potential bidders to check through the photo gallery of the paperwork for themselves.

The XK was always a good-looking car but this one has a few cosmetic upgrades being the updated range which really set it apart. It’s a low mileage, one owner V8 power sports car with plenty of life left in it yet. We’re sure that whoever wins this auction will be smiling all the way home.

We estimate this car to fetch between £18,000 - £23,000 in auction.
