The Appeal

Considering the multifold driving allure of Jaguar’s svelte X100 XK8, it is always a surprise to discover exceptionally low mileage cars like this one. It has covered a mere 17,140 miles from new in the hands of just three clearly very careful keepers.
The result is an early XK8 coupe showing impressive timewarp condition. The popular Sapphire Blue paintwork is very well kept while the ivory leather cabin looks like it has been barely used. 
The maintenance history supports the low mileage and the car has just been serviced prior to sale. It also comes with a long MOT to October 2025 with no advisories. 
Interest in the X100 is on the rise. With its very low mileage, this one feels like a potential show star in the making.
