Synopsis
New updated and enlarged edition! Jaguar’s XK sports models were
produced from 1996 to 2014 in two distinct forms: the orignal,
steel-bodied cars and the later advanced technology aluminium-bodied
versions. Highly significant for Jaguar, these cars reintroduced the
world to Jaguar sports car motoring and, in doing so, echoed the success
of previous icons, such as the E-type. With no plans from Jaguar for a
direct replacement, the XK and XKR are guaranteed to become much sought
after models, which are already attracting keen interest from driving
enthusiasts.
