Professional, friendly selling experience
Thank you for buying my Caviar Red 2010 Jaguar XK Portfolio, I know it will be prepared to a very high standard and go to an owner who will genuinely appreciate and look after it for the next chapter of its life.
I have always loved the design and Grand Touring elegance of the Jaguar X150 cars, taking some heritage from Aston Martin design - I personally think they are the best-looking cars on the road! I had always wanted to own one, I bought the car 8-years ago, as the second owner, when its previous owner, an 84-year-old gentleman, had to down size and could no longer drive, I bought it when it was 9-years old with 18k on the clock, I have added another 33k miles since with some very happy driving around the UK.
I have tried to look after her, having it serviced every year and fixing anything that needed doing. It has always been serviced by Mike Allen Services, a specialist Jaguar garage in Swindon, next to the railway station, during my tenure. They really know their stuff and it has always been worth the 120-mile round trip from Malvern to have it serviced properly by them. I recently had it detailed by Pyramid Car Care in Worcester shortly after the recent service this year.
About 5-years ago I had the sound system upgraded by Audiofile InCar, in Bishops Stortford. They did an amazing job, with high quality workmanship, completely transforming the sound stage in the car. From that moment on I always had two smiles on my face, one when I started the car up and listened to the 5.0L V8 engine, and the second one, listening to high quality music while the XK purred along!
My reason for selling was my wish to get a Jaguar XKR Convertible and experience the same elegant car with 510 HP and open top driving. When I collected the car yesterday, I was not disappointed. The car was beautifully prepared, looking spectacular in Metallic Lunar Grey with the Caramel leather, thank you – it really is all in the detail!
The 125-mile drive home with the roof down was fantastic, falling in love with driving all over again, in this amazing machine! The only thing that didn’t measure up, unfortunately, was the factory fitted Bowers and Wilkins sound system, it’s not bad, but having been used to the superb sound in my XK, there is no comparison, and no question - I am going to have to upgrade to the XKR, not cheap, but worth every penny.
Also, thank you for the advice you gave me when I went to view that XK Convertible, I dodged a bullet with that car, and ended up buying one from you, - a pedigree cat from a highly reputable organisation, long may mpmlimited continue.
Thank you again for selling me such a beautiful car, and for the bottle of wine and Swiss Chocolates, always a bonus when you can give your wife a little present when you get home with a new car!
All the best, hopefully see you in October.
