2015 Jaguar XK8
4.2-S Roadster Final Edition
New 4.2-S special edition models unveiled at the 2005 Geneva International Salon marked another advance for the Jaguar XK. It was available as either coupe or convertible, with a choice of two V8 engines – one of them supercharged. Buyers were able to own a car that is widely recognised as a modern classic, with looks, performance and poise true to Jaguar's sports car lineage.
The 4.2-S headed the 2006MY XK range. It was offered in four new limited edition exterior colours - Copper Black Metallic, Frost Blue Metallic, Bay Blue Metallic and Satin Silver Metallic - in addition to the wide palette already in existence. With three interior colours and two distinct veneer options for the instrument panel, XK8 models offered a new luxurious Elmwood veneer as standard for the interior trim.
In recognition of Jaguar's racing heritage, special badging and accents adorned the 2006MY models, including the 4.2-S. Polished door treadplates featured chequered flag emblems and leather-edged embossed floor mats lined the footwells. The revised white Jaguar Growler badge on the bonnet also featured new chequered flag accents on the sides of the emblem. New darkened rear light clusters further enhanced the sporting credentials of the Jaguar XK range. The XK8 models also featured 19-inch 'Atlas' style wheels.
The car on sale here is a 4.2S convertible finished in Frost Blue with Ivory leather interior and Elm wood trim. It has covered just under forty five thousand miles from new and has just come from long-term storage as the previous owner was working overseas. The car has been prepared by Jaguar Classic’s workshop and will be provided with 12 months warranty and roadside assistance.
