Description

Exquisite early Jaguar XK8 4. 0 V8 finished in British Racing Green Metallic Coachwork, Cream Leather Upholstery, Burr Walnut Dashboard & Lambs Wool Tailored Carpets. Outstanding provenance & condition, they really do not come much better than this. Supplied new by RA Creamer, formally based close to Kensington Palace & responsible for supplying many royal vehicles to the Queen & Prince Charles. Sold to an exclusive London Postcode in Holland Park & serviced 11 times with Jaguar Main Dealerships & a further 3 times with Jaguar Specialist. Having spent the last 14 years in Norfolk & covering just 7000 miles. We sold this wonderful car a little over 6 months ago, however our customer has relocated to central Ipswich & no longer has off road parking. It is with a very heavy heart he has decided to do best by the car & repatriate it to a new home.

Following an initial service at RA Creamer at 10. 3K, the car was then serviced at Henleys at 12. 3K & Hadley Green Jaguar then serviced the vehicle at 18. 8K, 24. 6K, 29. 2K, 32. 7K, 35. 1K, 36. 8K, 38. 8K, 43. 5K & 45. 8K. Top Flight then replaced the Secondary Timing Chain, Tensioners, Waterpump & Serviced the vehicle at 48. 2K. The well renowned & respected J Cat Independent Jaguar Specialists of Norwich went on to replace the Primary Timing Chain & Secondary Chain, along with Alloy Tensioners, Guides & Blades & Engine Service at a cost of over £1, 450 in July 2015 at 51. 4K. J Cat serviced the vehicle again in December 2022 on 54. 5K, & most recently in March 2023, renewing many suspension components, totalling in excess £1, 000. We serviced the car in April 2024 on 55K. We have in excess of £7, 000 in invoices, highlights include a new stainless steel exhaust rear section, headlining professionally reupholstered, underside of vehicle being wax oil treated by a Jaguar Specialist. Professional re fabrication to sill areas, using newly fabricated panels, stone chipped & colour coded in 2017. We also have a copy of the last 15 years of MOT Certificates, TAX Discs, Book Pack, 2 Sets of Keys, Newspaper Articles, Jaguar XK8 Motoring Publications, I could go on but you get the picture!

The car drives faultlessly with a quiet, smooth & smoke free engine, silky gear changes & no unwanted knocks, noises or warning lights in sight, outstanding! The interior & exterior cosmetic condition is exemplary, with everything working as it should. Remote Central Locking, Ice Cold Climate Control, Electric Windows & Mirrors, Radio & Cassette Player, Wooden Steering Wheel, Gear Knob & Dashboard, Airbags, Power Steering you can operate with one finger, Spare Wheel, Toolkit, Recent Battery & much more. Appreciating modern classic & this example is sure to be a fantastic investment. Supplied with a new MOT, subject to a stringent Pre Delivery Inspection, HPI Clear Certificate & 6 Months Warranty.
