The outside goes but has not the grandeur and size of its predecessors. The inside especially the dashboard and the plastic lack charm and quality imho.
How about this rare modified XKs having become a modern DB5 David Brown? I think TS from PP is enjoying one like this.
I am bias of course, as I own a 2nd gen. XK (X150), but I really think it is the best, in modern era..
I drove a previous XK8 (1st gen), they feel and drive pretty much like an XJ from the same era.. The dashboard is very similare too, the car feels heavy. The XK 2nd gen. With its aluminum body and upgraded gearbox, is more responsive, and dives better. It's also the last of the GT's (grand tourismo) 4 seaters for the brand. Ok, even if you cant really seat at the back, it gives you extra room, + they look soo good!...The successor the F-type (now discontinued) is really a 2 seater sport car. The XK still retained this english glamour of wood trims, beautiful leather finish, stitched leather dashboard, leather door panels, they are also few things that look a bit cheap, but I wont go there now..

general, its a beautiful car. For me it must be with the tan leather and wood trims, I am old fashion... And this is the last Jag coupé to offer this. The nicest angle is the back, and the booth, that opens with its large back window. There is a few wink at the old 'E type', but in a modern aluminum shell.. You still feel like a "old fashion gentleman" driving an XK, and i enjoy every bit of that...

I knew you had this one. I saw it on one of your previous photos. Excellent choice and one more vote for the XK2. 4 XK2 / 2 for the XJ.
2007 for me!
I purchased a one new back then. Sold my 95 wide body Porsche to get it 
After the XK moved on to the XJL. Equally wonderful.

First gen XK ...
Not only one of the most beautiful Jaguars ever, but I really think it's one of the most beautiful cars.
If I hadn't heard ownership horror stories/the interior wasn't so small/auto only I'd have bought one instead of my Cayman.
I still might get one one of these days.
The XJ-S and the second XK are handsome, with good proportions, but they aren't beautiful.
