In the end I opted for a Jaguar XK Signature in white with lots of options as standard - I am having the wheels sprayed black. You will be aware that the XK pricing has decreased substantially which should help just a little bit with regard to depreciation!

Thank you for your comments Peter, but I don't know why you keep calling me Chris :)

Hi Trevor Thanks for your opinion.......now I am in a fix.......I had only considered silver with alloy wheels and white with the alloys sprayed black. I hope to make a decision today and of course, whilst ultimately it is a matter of personal preference, I do appreciate other views. I am trying to visualise the car whilst at the same time considering future saleability! Regards, Colin

I bought a new XK Coupe in 2007, kept it for 3 years (15,000 miles) and then moved on. Now looking to buy a new XK Coupe Portfolio, because I still love the shape and the car has had some serious improvements since my original one. Of course I know it will not be manufactured for very much longer, but some great deals are available and I can't resist the temptation!

I bought a new XK in Coupe in 2007, kept it for 15,000 miles (3 years) sold it and suffered a lot of depreciation. However, I now find myself tempted by the extraordinary deals available on a new XK Coupe Portfolio which has changed quite a lot since my first one. Of course I am aware that the model will have a serious revamp in the near future, but nevertheless the design still looks fantastic. Also, I understand that the Portfolio is at end of life and the next version will be the Signature with more options included and a greatly reduced OTR list price....anyone know any more about this?. I have a choice of Rhodium Silver with 20" Kalimnos or Polar White with the same wheels, but the dealer will spray them black............any opinions to help me decide? Also, does anyone know a link where I can find all the subtle changes to the XK since it's inception in 2006?
