This is the first X150 I have seen that creates the same feelings when I look at it that a great X100 does. I love the color combination.

If only it had been blessed with 5.0 XKR running gear and brakes.

 

....... eeeehhhhhhhhhh, I think the X100 is still more, what's a good word, ..... succulent??? Too bad it wasn't 6% larger. I barely fit in mine.
HEY! Someone out there should make an all-aluminum X100 rebody kit for the X150!

 

That was the color combo that I had my eye on (in an XK, not XKR), but it sold before I could pull the trigger. Beautiful car. My concern was that it was possibly a bit too feminine, the blue on blue with white interior. But I thought it was stunning.

 

My Vanden Plas was that color as is my Vantage... Heck, our S60 is that color too, but so is everyone else's Volvo it seems.

 

Is it just me or the springs are actually raised? May be new shocks?
I like the raised look.

 

Tervuren,
Combo is too nautical to be used in a serious sports car.
And why you wont find it.

I saw an '08 like that that had sat in an impound lot up in NYC for 6 years selling for $7900. Rear window had delaminated but otherwise it looked OK. I thought hard about it but didn't want a vert.

 

If that color combination would have been an option when I bought my new 13 in 16 I would have jumped at it!

I dont believe that's the color combination T is looking for.
He is thinking of a nautical/ French Riveira combo- Blue, Blue contv top, Ivory seats, blue carpeting. And although he did not mention it- birds eye maple- at least that's how the n/a xks were finished out

I must say I have never seen the combo you posted of XKR in blue with brown carpeting and steering, with what looks like to me caramel interior. It sounds disgusting, but I kinda like it.

 

It is Poplar wood trim, I think it looks amazing with the Indigo exterior.

This car's interior is I believe Ivory/Slate, rather than the Ivory/Navy combination you might be thinking off. I have seen a car with the Ivory/Navy and it is a little strong; but for a second car I would still go for it.

This specific example appears to have cosmetic flaws inside and out, it could end up being more expensive than its worth. However, I still lover the color combination. It would be a beautiful color combination to have for driving an open top Jaguar in the Carolina foot hills.

 

^^ I was going to buy that color combo interior on a light blue metallic XK conv, but thought the seats would get too many stains. In retrospect, the jeans dye comes out very easily and I just love the dash color so much. I'd prefer caramel to ivory with oyster, but not sure if that was ever an option. It could be if there was a 2nd car to take interior parts from.

 

Looks like I'm not the only one that liked it; it went to sale pending on their website just a few minutes ago.

Hopefully a 2010+ XKR Convertible in this color combination will hit the market in the next month or two.

I'd really love to buy in October, then three of my (then)four cars will have October registrations, and I'd push the one that doesn't off my roster to go back down to three overall.

 

A thread of its own is needed on what I am about o write.
Get dye guard- the stuff is priceless. Its made in Italy and now available here.
Studies in England have shown that it was the best thing for preserving abrasion wear and the blocking dye from transferring is a bonus.

Some of the hitch-hikers have the worst clothes.

 

Well get cracking... Most of us can use this as Jag loves to promote light color leather.

 

That dark blue with blue top and Ivory/Slate interior was exactly what I was looking for but this grey one popped up at an excellent price so I jumped on it. Might should have waited.

 

This is the car you want.
If you add it all up, it would be like buying a 4.2 n/a for $10k

An '07...2007 Jaguar XK Base - Vancouver $39,980 | autoTRADER.ca

 

Interesting VIN on that car...VIN: SAJWA4EB0ALB32396, looks like a pre-release (pre-official 5.0L release date and VIN#).

 

How about this colour? https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/invent...ting=178409509
