Riding on the success of the first generation XK8/XKR models (X-100), for the replacement model Jaguar used their new aluminium technology and designed the model the other way around!
The New XK (dropping the 8 insignia) was launched in 2006 (coded X-150) replacing the original XK8 model. With a full aluminium body for extra strength the car was designed from the start as a convertible and then re-engineered back to a coupe as well. Further new technology came with the suspension and a pedestrian restraint system built into the bonnet area. There was also an entirely new interior layout and on the convertible an integrated aluminium tonneau cover to the hood. Launched with the same 4.2 litre engine of the previous model, the transmission now included steering column mounted paddle controls.
The New XK was joined by the equivalent XKR models a year later and in 2009 received a major upgrade by replacing the engine with Jaguar’s new 5.0 litre unit, both in normally aspirated and supercharged form.To accompany these changes the styling was further enhanced, particularly at the front along with a general increase in the equipment and trim levels.
The New XK and XKR received a further upgrade in 2011 with many trim upgrades and by 2012 new models were introduced like the XKR-S as a higher performance variant and then finally in 2014 by the XKR-S GT, a limited production ultimate car with some features taken from the then new F-TYPE sports car.
The New XK and XKR finally left production in 2014, their place taken by the now established F-TYPE two-seater sports.

Vehicle Use
We have a number of highly-qualified experts who can inspect your vehicle prior to purchase and provide you with a full written report. In addition to their complete understanding of the mechanical and aesthetic aspects of vehicle inspection, they have extensive experience with the Jaguar marque which perfectly equips them to identify the unique requirements of specific models and years, something that is particularly important for older cars.
The cost of an inspection begins at £100, with the final figure determined by the time needed and the distance the inspector is required to travel. We can guarantee that your inspection will be cheaper than an equivalent AA or RAC inspection.
This small upfront outlay could save you thousands in the long term.
To arrange an inspection simply call JEC Head Office on 0117 969 8186 and they will provide you with details of your nearest inspector.
Also from our club HQ in Bristol we can give you an official valuation for insurance purposes. Our valuations are accepted by all leading insurance brokers and Companies.

Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club Insurance is designed specifically for members of the JEC. That’s why it covers JEC TrackSport events and offers cover for JEC Young Enthusiasts. Furthermore, the scheme recognises that members may have a combination of newer and more historic Jaguars and so the scheme caters for all, other individually or part of a multi-vehicle offering.
Club insurance doesn’t operate the way standard insurance does. While it does still take a vehicle’s mechanical characteristics into account, it also places a lot of emphasis on how the vehicle is used, cared for and maintained.
Club insurance also offers a host of benefits and products that you simply cannot get outside of membership of the JEC, such as member to member cover for example. This enables you to drive your friends Jaguars at regional meets, events and on tours with fully comprehensive cover and without the need to complete more paperwork or ring up and incur costs for adding named drivers.
This way, you’ll be comfortable knowing that you have a policy that fits your vehicle and your usage needs perfectly.
