“ These X150 Jaguars represent astonishing value today for such a capable, luxurious and beautiful sports car ”

A refined and elegant British grand tourer, this XK Convertible features Jaguar’s 4.2-litre V8 engine paired with the super smooth 6-speed automatic transmission. Finished with a desirable colour and trim combination, and of course the perfect open-top motoring experience.

Background

Initially breaking cover in 2005 as Jaguar’s ALC (Advanced Lightweight Coupé) concept car, the Ian Callum-styled Jaguar XK was launched to the public in 2006, as a replacement for the ageing XK8 which could trace its model lineage as far back as the XJ-S – talk about Jaguar getting their money’s worth!

Featuring an entirely new structural design, aluminium construction and only two welds on the entire car – either side of the roof – the X150-era XK was certainly a new car.

What wasn’t new, however, was the engine, with the venerable 4.2-litre DOHC V8 engine having been refined and fettled to eliminate any known issues before being utilised in the all-new XK.

As before, there were the standard, naturally aspirated cars, and then there was the XKR, which – through the wonder that is forced induction – could crack the 0–60 sprint in less than five seconds, and go on to a limited 174mph. Strong stuff indeed.

In 2009, the XK received a mid-life facelift, losing numerous attractive design elements such as the J-gate automatic transmission, though it did gain 0.8 litres of additional displacement and a hefty bump in power and performance, lasting until 2015 when the XK was ousted by the F-Type.

Overview

With open-top luxury, this 2007 Jaguar XK 4.2-litre Convertible blends elegant design with strong performance. Styled by Ian Callum, the XK features an all-aluminium body for improved rigidity and weight savings. The fully automatic fabric roof folds away in under 20 seconds, adding to its grand touring appeal.

Powered by a 300bhp 4.2-litre V8 paired with a smooth six-speed automatic gearbox, the XK delivers effortless performance and a satisfying V8 soundtrack. With just over 86,000 miles covered, this example shows regular use but remains very well maintained and is presented exceptionally well.

The cabin offers a premium feel with leather trim, wood or aluminium accents, and features like heated seats, sat nav, and a quality sound system. On the road, it balances comfort and handling with adaptive suspension and rear-wheel drive agility.

Overall, the XK remains a stylish and capable GT, offering strong value as a modern classic.
 

Exterior

Perfectly sculpted, with curves in all the right places to create the ideal open-top grand tourer.

Finished in the lovely Lunar Grey Metallic, the paintwork on the Jaguar presents exceptionally well for the age and mileage covered.

From the front, the large open-mouth grille is a nod to previous models while aiding to cool the 4.2-litre V8. There may be the odd age-related chip, as you would expect, but nothing which jumps out. Both Bi-Xenon headlights are in good order with no damage to the lenses; the same can be said for both fog lights.

Working our way up the bonnet, the shut lines are equal against the wings and, looking to the sides, the doors also have the same panel gap and no dings or dents were spotted, and Jaguar’s signature wing vents allow for more cooling. All of the windows are in good condition with no noticeable scratches. The chrome mirrors and window trims, which also run around the base of the roof, are all in good order with no tarnishing. The fabric roof is in very good condition with just a few minor creases, as you would expect to see. This operates correctly going both up and down in less than 20 seconds (no chance of getting wet with times like that).

The shapely curves of the XK flow around nicely to the rear, where the red and clear lights blend in nicely with the Jaguar boot plinth, all of which are free from chips or scratches. There are also parking sensors fitted which are working correctly.

Fitted with factory optional extra 20-inch wheels, these are in very good condition with just an odd minor mark noted on a couple of the wheels. A set of Dunlop Sport Maxx keeps you in contact with the road and has a good amount of tread remaining.
 

Interior

It’s a Jaguar… which means you expect a certain standard for the luxurious interior, and the XK doesn’t disappoint.

Finished in Ivory leather, the seats are in very good condition for their age, with just a few minor, light age-related creases and a small amount of discolouration. The rear seat is in good order and doesn’t appear to have seen an enormous amount of use over the years. The leather continues onto the door cards, both of which are in good order and free from damage.

Behind the wheel of the XK, you are faced with a leather multifunction steering wheel. The instruments are working correctly with no warning light displayed when the car is running, and the odometer shows a reading of 86,336 miles. 

Across the black leather-topped dashboard there is no damage, the brushed aluminium fascia panels are in excellent condition, and all of the switchgear is working as you would expect, including the air conditioning which was regassed in 2023.

The black carpets have been kept in good condition with the help of a set of factory mats that are also in good order with just light signs of use. Inside the boot is clean and tidy; the space saver spare wheel is present along with the jack and wheel brace.
 

Mechanical

In keeping with the rest of the car, the home for the 4.2-litre V8 presents very well indeed. All the plastic covers look in good condition, as does the underbonnet soundproofing.

The 300bhp 4.2-litre V8 fires up without hesitation and comes to a smooth idle with the distinct low tone of a V8, and runs with no issues reported.

Perfect for the grand tourer is a six-speed automatic gearbox, through which the 4.2-litre effortlessly propels the XK from 0–60mph in approximately 6 seconds, driven through the rear wheels.

On the road, there are no knocks or bangs reported and the car handles as you would expect. It also comes to a stop in a straight line.

Looking at the underside, you will notice this is also very clean and well presented. This has been achieved with a deep clean and Lanoguard underbody protection, which was topped up where necessary in 2025, helping futureproof this modern classic.

Summary

A refined and elegant British grand tourer, this XK Convertible features Jaguar’s 4.2-litre V8 engine paired with the super smooth 6-speed automatic transmission. Finished with a desirable colour and trim combination, and of course the perfect open-top motoring experience.

Well-maintained throughout its life, it comes with an excellent service history, indicating careful ownership and regular upkeep.
