Now forgive me if there are some of you who've seen loads of these, but for me this was my first physical sighting of a new XK convertible, so I took a couple of mobile-phone snaps in case there were others here in the same boat.
Like the press articles and other reviewers have said, this is a car you have to see in the metal to fully appreciate. While nobody could call the old XK an ugly car, this new one is genuinely beautiful and it's simplicity of design really impresses. Old ladies, teenage kids, traffic wardens and mums pushing prams were giving this baby a second look, while other perfectly nice cars (a new S-class in silver, a lovely Range Rover Sport and my CLS, no less!) were being completely ignored.
Not the best photos I know, but the owner was waiting to get back into his car and I was reluctant to take the p*ss.
