Vendor supplied images

Highlights

Well maintained with good history
Appealing blue over ivory colour scheme
Only two registered keepers
MOT to end December 2024

The Appeal

Bodied in lightweight aluminium and styled to echo the iconic E-Type, the X150 XK8 is the modern classic convertible that drives as well as it looks.

Finished in light blue with dark blue roof and smart ivory leather interior, this X150 shows off those lines to great effect. It has had just two registered keepers from and new and been well maintained throughout its life by main dealers and local specialists.

There is an electrical fault with the roof, but with well kept looks, low mileage for the year and long MOT, this svelte 2+2 is a good basis for investment.
