A new genuine replacement Jaguar engine was supplied and fitted at 69448 miles. The original invoice totalling £7810. 98 is present in the history file. Therefore it also has the major benefit of knowing that the the new engine has only covered just over 14000 miles There is a comprehensive documented service history in the file with a plethora of supporting invoices and receipts for servicing and maintenance carried out over the years. Full Originally Leather Portfolio Handbook pack and spare keys are also present.
We believe it is fair to describe this car deserves its place amongst the better low mileage surviving examples of XK8 coupe available at this time that are still currently registered that remain on UK roads today.
This is the latest addition to our carefully sourced small selection of interesting cars we fondly remember from past decades. A rare opportunity to enter the world of classic cars by owning a useable asset that is to be be enjoyed at an affordable price with XK8 values now only heading one way.
On inspection you’ll find a strong example that is certainly free of any corrosion issues that are commonly known throughout the Jaguar XK range which tells a story of just how well the car has been cared for by previous owners. On the ramp whilst viewing the underbody is a solid structure which at some point it can clearly be seen has undergone a wax oil protection.
The bodywork in general is all good free of any damage or ugly imperfections that require attention unless it would be an owners intention to invest just a little more time and money to make it show winning standard.
We prefer to offer cars in their genuine entirety which our vast experience taught us years ago in that educated specialists and enthusiasts appreciate and tend to prefer to buy therefore knowing the car represents value for money with positive investment potential .
The full leather interior, headlining, carpets, dash and facias can be found in such a good condition overall free of any typical expected age related wear and tear that could give the cars age away.
Smooth running V8 engine driving and performing very well as expected of a Jaguar built in this era. With regards to the vehicles service and maintenance records I welcome any enquiries or questions and will happily go through the complete file for potential buyers
