Jaguar will announce its 60th annivesary XK sports car at next week's London motor show. Dubbed the XK60 and based on the naturally aspirated XK coupe and convertible, the new Jag will be available from August 2008.

The XK60 comes with around £5000 of optional extras at no extra cost - and every naturally aspirated XK will come in XK60 spec unless buyers opt out. Sound like a run-out special? Don't forget the facelifted and revised XK is waiting in the wings.

Prices for the XK60 stay pegged at £60,995 for the coupe and £66,995 for the convertible.

All XK60s get 20-inch wheels, a new front bumper, rear spoiler and rear valance, new mesh grilles, chrome vents, new tailpipe finishes plus a new gearknob and gear selector surround.
 
What else to look out for on Jaguar's stand at Excel? Alongside the XK60 will be the limited-edition XKR-S, the revised X-type, the XJ and the XF, for which Jaguar already holds 21,000 orders worldwide.
