This 1997 Jaguar XK8
Convertible is a timeless grand tourer that perfectly captures the elegance and
performance synonymous with the Jaguar name.
Finished here in a deep
metallic blue with a cream beige leather interior, this example presents
beautifully and offers an appealing blend of classic styling and usable modern
comfort.
First registered in October
1997, this XK8 is powered by the smooth and refined 3,980cc petrol engine paired
with a 5-speed automatic transmission, delivering the effortless performance
these cars are known for. The vehicle has had six former keepers and has been
under current ownership since June 2017. Originally finished in red, the car
underwent a colour change in April 2015, resulting in its current attractive
blue finish.
The car comes with an MOT
valid until December 2026, providing peace of mind for its next owner. It is
supplied with three previous MOT certificates, a service record containing seven
stamps with the last recorded in March 2016 at 92,793 miles, along with its
original handbooks and a selection of invoices.
The vehicle was
driven to us just over 10 miles and has performed as expected,
handling stop-start driving without issue.
The electric convertible roof
is operational, although it functions slowly. There is a known issue with the
near-side rear window which appears to be stuck, and the windscreen has a crack
in one corner. These points are reflected in the overall condition and should be
considered when bidding.
This Jaguar XK8 convertible
represents an affordable entry into classic open-top motoring, offering style,
comfort, and a rewarding driving experience. With some light recommissioning, it
has the potential to be enjoyed as a refined cruiser or further improved into a
very presentable example of this modern classic
