Jaguar, with its new owner Tata, is working on a tidy-up for the XK range that is due to be unveiled at this year's Paris motor show in November.

These pix by Carparazzi, taken in the UK, show the facelift is well under way and includes a new front apron that will reportedly incorporate revised below-headlight air intakes, and a new rear bumper as well as LED tail lights.

Rear view mirrors appear to have come in for some revision too, with new shapes and built-in indicator repeaters.

A subtle shark-fin radio antenna appears on the centre of the boot lid, replacing the retractable and spoiler-incorporated versions used before.

It is not expected there will be any significant mechanical changes to the revised XK range, although it is said some suspension and steering re-working is on the cards, as is the revised ZF six-speed auto that made its debut in the new XF Jags.

The refreshed XK range will go on sale next year.
