Jaguar XK: Estimates & Auction Market

A lineage of elegant performance

Launched in 1948 with the XK120, Jaguar’s XK line established the brand’s global reputation for stylish, high-performance sports cars. The series continued with the XK140 and XK150, then the name returned for grand-touring coupés and convertibles (1996–2014). Today, these models are sought after both by classic-car enthusiasts and collectors of modern GTs.
