After surfing the web looking for Vortex wheels from the xkr 75 I forgot at how beautiful this car actually looks

Please let me know your favourite xk/xkr model

 

I would do a lot to have this http://www.moibbk.com/images/jaguar-xk-red-2.jpg


Unfortunately the only ones around in Australia would involve me paying probably $50K over my car, or more.

 

I remember going into Land Rover / jaguar with my heart set on a diesel cayenne , after catching the lift up to the used lot section I stumbled upon an xkr s in that exact same colour - Italian racing red.
Whilst the family were sitting down at the lounge section I did a quick once over the vehicle just to ensure that it was the right vehicle for me ...and yes ! it decided then and there I was going to purchase a jaguar .
Four days later I was a new owner of a midnight blank xk !!

 

Favorite modern Jaguar colors are Winter Gold, Seafrost Green, and Zircon Blue

 

Winter gold ? Time to hit Google

 

The Zircon and Winter Gold have been renamed a couple of things in Jag Speak over the years I believe...

Winter Gold:


Zircon Blue:


Seafrost Green:

 

Thanks for the pics
These colours are very rare ! I very much doubt I will ever see these in the flesh . I can pretty much count on one hand the occasions I have seen a xk/xkr in Australia

 

Seafrost Green is the most rare of the three. Radiance Red is also another great Jaguar color that was escaping my memory at the time.

Radiance Red:


I've heard these called "pensioner colors", but they are classic for the light interior and chrome accents that Jaguar has always had. They really play into that theme perfectly.

 

If I had to choose another color Apart from midnight black I think the Italian racing red would be quiet high up on that list

 

I'm torn between old school and new school. My favorite will always be an XK-E Coupe but the closest to that was a XK150 Convert. My new style and color I'm a little bias because I finally got one. Happy New Year.

 

That's a very nice example right there big fan of those wheels as well

 

I prefer the final iteration of the XK over the original design; especially on the R.

 

Well, the 75's my favourite (obvs).

BTW, you can't fit the 75 or Dynamic R Vortex wheels to your 4.2 - you need the original version of the Vortex created for the 2008 XKR-S 4.2, and there were only 200 of those cars. The fronts are the same, but the 5.0 XKR has a wider axle due to the e-diff, so the offsets on the rears are different. I guess it might be possible to use spacers, but that's not ideal.

 

You can fit them using spacers, no problem.

 

I looked over a year for an XKR in Winter Gold. It was worth the wait. Would have took a sea frost green also as this is my favorite color on my XJ's.
