The Appeal

Based upon the outgoing XJS platform and showcasing the all-new 4.0-litre AJ-V8 engine, the Jaguar XK8 grand tourer proved an enormous success. The styling clearly borrowed from the E-Type, but still looked contemporary. The inclusion of rear seats and a big luggage compartment made it a car you could readily use every day.

The 1999 XK8 Convertible stands out with its rare CGG Carnival Red Mica paint. With only 48,487 miles on the clock, which we're informed is accurate, the car has done very little work and shows little wear.

Recently arrived in the Netherlands, the XK8 comes with a USA title and European import documentation, ensuring a smooth transition for its next owner. Additionally, all duties and VAT have been paid, making it an attractive proposition for European buyers who will be able to register the car in their country of choice.
