Oscar-worthy cinematography. Well done. Now, I'm even more jealous.

Very interesting! I had no idea there was a hardtop for these cars. Heard of Arden before. Though the softtop lines are so gorgeous, I wish someone made a hardtop that mirrored it to use the same rear quarter windows and general shape!

Agreed with XKRacer's (long ago now) post, that top isn't much for a $100k car. Bespoke is still bespoke, not always do such accessories become hugely cheaper inline with the car's depreciation. If it were my money and I had to have a hardtop, being among the ~$10k acquisition crowd here, I'd pick one, sell my convertible and get a coupe. Neat to have this option to have 'both' if you wanted though.

 

Arden Jaguar is the only place U can buy that top for UR XK8 or XKR convertibles. It looks sweet on that silver Jag - the top is made in Germany at a cost of about 75 hundred unpainted .
