Default Friend got this as Part EX

My mate Stewart runs a Bentley and Rolls Royce Specialist garage, doing restorations services etc, Stewart has 38 years of Rollers and Bentley experience behind him, the other day someone came in and Part Exchanged this..




This is taken from his website..

Paramount Arden XK8 No:001, and was originally Paramount’s ultimate show car. Featured on Top Gear and driven by Jeremy Clarkson, this is a unique car! The Paramount upgrades included 'Hauser racing' stainless exhaust system, 30mm lowered suspension, Formula one paddle shift, and a bespoke luxury leather interior. Premium multi CD sound system. Full electric pack including electric heated memory seats. Electric steering column. Air conditioning. Remote central locking/alarm. Electric windows/mirrors. Remote in dash Sat Nav. Cruise. Traction control. The list goes on...In 2006, this car was further enhanced with over £26,000 worth of Zeemax upgrades including a full ZMR wide body kit comprising of matching side skirts, front splitter, rear spoiler, wide front/rear wings and all colour coded to a top show standard. To compliment the aggressive styling, the previous owner also opted for the Brembo brake upgrade and the huge 335x25x 20 inch Zeemax wheel and tyre package!! Offered with full main dealer service history, this Jaguar is truly one of a kind and offered at a fraction of the upgrade cost, let alone the original price tag of the XK8.

Rear tyres are ****ing massive, it sounds absolutely gorgeous as well!

Will try and get down there during the week with my camera for some shots!

Zeemax wide arch kit, barring the rear lights (optional anyhow) it looks fantastic on a Jag, we featured one a couple of issues ago.
In black the Zeemax kitted XK's look the bollocks.

Id have one

Shame they didn't do it to an XKR instead of an XK8!

because they're trying to market it at people that would normally want an aston martin i guess - the DB9 is based on the same platform anyway
