23/04/19 - For Sale (ref#S382): 2004 XK8 COUPE - £16,000 o.v.n.o
At Growler a few years ago, someone walked past my XK8 and muttered, “Looks like a bloody Hot Wheels car”. You know what? He was right! So, here, reluctantly offered for sale, is “Cherry”. She’s a 2004 XK8. After seven years of ownership, it’s time for her to go to someone else. I am also only using her for maybe half an hour a week, which seems a shame.
EXTERIOR
- As you can see, she is a one-off. Professionally resprayed in Lamborghini Arancio Borealis, which is a pearlescent orange-over-yellow colour that looks amazing in any light and utterly fabulous in full sunshine!
- The bonnet sports a custom-designed rear-facing cowl, as seen on the Arden A-Type AJ18 (https://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-news/arden-a-type-aj-18-ar75997.html), plus Grantley Design bonnet vents and some fabulously retro vinyl stripes.
- Side vents as seen on later XKs were added, along with a black diamond grille set back into the nose cone. The rear spoiler is a bespoke item, based on an Irmscher stock part. The wheels are the original Jaguar Gemini 17” rims, but powder coated.
INTERIOR
- Upholstered in French Navy leather in stunning quilted pattern plus specially-sourced tweed from a Scottish mill. (Even inside the glovebox.) Recarpeted throughout in blue. Blue seatbelts added.
- The rear seats were taken out and the space boxed-in and carpeted to form a useful second luggage area. The fronts were replaced with Recaros from a Mitsubishi Evo IX and are supremely comfortable.
- I replaced the stock Jaguar head unit with a PURE digital unit, which has iPod connectivity via Bluetooth. The dials have chrome surrounds, as does the J-gate, and I bought a custom, carbon-and-burnt-orange gear knob from a firm in the US called American Shifter Company. I also fitted Adamesh drilled aluminium pedals and a colour-changing LED system for the courtesy lights in the footwells. The rear windows and rear screen are all tinted.
MECHANICALS
- Mechanically, I have kept changes to a minimum, leaving plenty of scope for her next (lucky) owner. Engine, transmission and brakes are stock and pull/change/stop as sweetly as the day she rolled off the production line.
- I have had the suspension lowered by 30mm. She has had a complete rebush with poly bushes, which made a dramatic improvement on handling. The exhaust is an Adamesh stainless unit with the over-axle option and new, wider tail-pipe finishers, ceramic coated in black.
NIGGLES
- There are a few bits you need to be aware of. The driver’s door control unit is temperamental. It means the windows and central locking can be a bit of a fiddle. And the switch beneath the brake pedal that regulates cruise control is also in need of replacement. I’d do it myself but as I’m selling her there doesn’t seem much point and they are reflected in the price.
- The paint is showing a few signs of wear, as you’d expect for a car that is not a “trailer queen”. This is clear in the area of the bonnet cowl, where the paint has developed a few hairline cracks.
HISTORY
- I am the second owner. At the time of writing, she has 66,615 miles on the clock. She starts on the button every time, even in the depths of winter, and turns heads wherever she goes.
- She won the 2014 Growler prize for “Best Modified” and the trophy comes with the car.
- Jaguar Racing Green owner’s folder with all books, service files and original promotional materials, with two full sets of key plus valet key.

I appreciate that Cherry isn’t a car for everyone. But if you see yourself driving a car that has people pointing and smiling, and which puts a big grin on your face every time you fire up that glorious 4.2 V8, maybe she’s the one for you.

08/04/19 - For Sale (ref#S379): 2007 XK-R 4.2 COUPE - £27,500
JAGUAR XKR SEBRING RED COUPE 2007 - 13,500 miles - 1 off unique factory colour - 1 owner since new.
This car was delivered from the factory as a special order in Jaguar Sebring Red at an extra cost of £8000. This colour is not available as a standard factory option and is, in my humble opinion, a far more sporty looking red colour than was available and stunningly suited to this car.
In addition to the above this car has been fitted with the sports pack by Paramount Performance with the 4.2 litre supercharged engine producing nearly 500BHP. It provides fantastic performance, better road holding and a more meaningful posture on the road. The performance Stainless Steel exhaust sounds absolutely awesome under acceleration.
The car is quiet under normal speed retaining the Grace, Space, Pace of the mark. It is a fantastic car to have fun in or to take on those longer journeys in complete style and elegance. The last of the softer classic styling of Jaguar sports cars.
Harmon Kardon premium sound, adaptive headlights & heated front screen etc.
The car has been serviced every year and MOT’d by Taggarts Glasgow, Jaguar, main dealer, since new.
The car is garaged and located near Carluke, Lanarkshire ML8 and even smells new!
£27,500
