The History and Paperwork

  • First registered in 1998
  • Good service history
  • MOT expires 22.07.2022
  • V5c present showing one previous owner
  • Many MOTs, service receipts and invoices
  • 2 sets of keys
  • Original owner’s wallet, manuals and service book
  • Spare wheel and tools 
Owned for the last 12 years by a Jaguar enthusiast the car is presented in extremely fine condition having been regularly serviced and maintained, and being treated to a full re-spray in its original colour. 
It was last serviced in 2019 and has had minimal use since, which is the main reason the car is now being put up for auction.

The Interior

  • Lovely and luxurious leather interior
  • Excellent wood inserts
  • Air conditioning
  • Great condition throughout
There’s lots of quality leather and burr walnut trim covering the luxurious interior of the XK8, with highly supportive seats that have also recently been treated to some renovation to maintain the integrity and feel of the leather.
Carpets are all pretty good as are door cards, headlining and all the interior fittings, with all the switchgear working correctly.
The main sign of wear that is evident is on the steering wheel, which adds a nice bit of patina and character to this luxury GT car interior.

The Exterior

  • Very good paintwork
  • Great condition wheels with good tyres
  • Exceptional presentation and condition
The XK8 is a truly great looking car with sweeping timeless lines and elegant curves and the paintwork on this car is about as good as it gets, having had a full professional re-spray to present the car in the fabulous condition it is in today.
Re-furbished wheels all sit on very good tyres and the whole car just looks awesome from every angle with a nice and deep metallic shine to it.

The Mechanics

  • 4.0 litre V8 auto
  • Regularly serviced and maintained regardless of cost
  • Runs and drives as it should
Last serviced in 2019 the car has done very little mileage since and is reported to drive exceptionally well, having had a new air conditioner compressor, a full gearbox service and a new battery in recent years.

Summary

A very nice and honest example of Jaguar’s XK8, with only 2 owners and an excellent service history presented in outstanding condition throughout.
