The Appeal

Captivating, nostalgic and elegant, the XK8 was a masterstroke that's often credited with bringing Jaguar 'back to form'. It was a car that benefited from simplicity as much as it did a sharp eye for detail. It was a remarkably pure concept through and through, with an evocative 'Spitfire wing' dash and a purring V8 under the bonnet all culminating in one of the motoring world's all-time favoured modern classics.

This 2007 example comes to us from the dry climes of the Emirates. It's a highly original car, though has been stood for quite some time and would benefit from some restorative work before it returns to the road. However, we are informed that it's running and driving - and all that'll be left after some attention will be registering it for the road.
