*** Full Jaguar service history *** SkillanNaylor Car Company are pleased to offer this 2014 Jaguar XK 5.0 V8 Signature 2Dr Coupe Auto seen in Ultimate Black Metallic with Cream Beige Leather upholstery. There are sports cars that impress with technology, others that dazzle with outright performance, and then there are those rare machines that deliver something altogether more special – a genuine sense of occasion every time you turn the key. The Jaguar XK 5.0 V8 Signature is unquestionably one of the latter. Elegant, powerful, beautifully proportioned and effortlessly charismatic, the XK represents a golden era of traditional British grand touring. A time when a naturally aspirated V8 engine, rear-wheel drive, beautifully crafted interiors and an engaging driving experience were considered the essential ingredients of a proper sporting Jaguar. Our stunning 2014 example is particularly desirable, being one of the final production models of the XK before Jaguar brought the curtain down on this celebrated nameplate in 2014. Presented in sophisticated Ultimate Black Metallic with contrasting Cream Beige Leather upholstery, it has covered just 53,963 miles and benefits from a fully documented Jaguar service history. This is not simply another luxury coupe. It is an increasingly desirable modern classic, representing the end of an era for one of Britain's most distinguished sports car manufacturers. 5.0 Litres. Eight Cylinders. Pure Character. At the heart of the XK Signature sits Jaguar's magnificent 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8 petrol engine. Developing 385 PS and 515 Nm of torque, this wonderfully charismatic powerplant delivers the sort of effortless performance and unmistakable soundtrack that modern downsized and electrified engines struggle to replicate. Performance is suitably impressive, with 0–60 mph dispatched in approximately 5.2 seconds and an electronically limited maximum speed of 155 mph. Yet outright figures tell only part of the story. The beauty of this engine is its character. From the deep, cultured burble at idle to the increasingly purposeful V8 soundtrack as the revs rise, it makes even an ordinary journey feel special. Power delivery is beautifully linear, throttle response is immediate, and there is no turbocharger interrupting the relationship between your right foot and the rear wheels. Mated to a smooth six-speed automatic transmission, the XK can effortlessly switch between relaxed, refined grand touring and genuinely spirited cross-country driving. It is a car equally at home covering hundreds of motorway miles as it is enjoying a favourite stretch of winding tarmac. This is analogue motoring in the very best sense of the expression – mechanical character, natural responses and a genuine connection between car and driver, complemented by just enough modern technology to make it effortlessly usable. Timeless Design – A True British Grand Tourer Few modern sports cars have aged as gracefully as the Jaguar XK. Designed under the direction of Ian Callum, its sweeping bonnet, muscular rear haunches, low roofline and beautifully sculpted silhouette draw inspiration from generations of iconic Jaguar sports cars, most notably the legendary E-Type. Unlike so many contemporary performance cars, the XK does not rely on oversized aerodynamic appendages, aggressive styling or unnecessary visual drama to make its presence felt. Its appeal lies in its restraint, its proportions and its unmistakably British elegance. Finished in Ultimate Black Metallic, our example has a particularly purposeful appearance. The deep metallic paintwork accentuates the XK's flowing lines, while its striking 20-inch alloy wheels provide the perfect finishing touch. More than a decade after production ended, the design remains remarkably fresh. Indeed, it is arguably more appealing today than when it first appeared.
