XK - The final chapter

[anonymous-user]

Just got our last ever order call for the XK. The last hurrah for a great car has begun. End of an era for big V8 engined Grand Tourers? We shall see but a bit of a sad day, glad I had a chance to have one before it finished.

A sad day, but the pace of change of customer demand & how industry needs to react quickly or be history is amazing....

was never the car it could have been having been held back to protect Aston. <aybe the next one will be a real AM competitor

From what I've heard I didn't think it was ceasing production until the end of year. So March is the last month that you can order a new XK?

August if I remember is when the factory shuts down for anual hollidays etc

During that time the lines are changed for next years model range weather just cosmetic changes or compleats models

The XK is produced down the same production line as the F-Type

It's the last chance for us as a US dealer to place orders on the factory. Delivery to us will be June / July. If you want a new XK and want to order it I wouldn't hang around.
