1996 Jaguar Xk8 Coupe Auto
Highlights
- Accompanied by an enormous paperwork file
- Highly original example in a sporty red metallic livery
- Advisory-free MOT, valid until September 2025
The Appeal
Designed with equal levels of nostalgia and innovation, the XK8 was a pretty remarkable way for Jaguar to step into the final years of the 20th century. With its open-mouthed front end and chamfered tail, there was a lot of the E-Type in the new car, and plenty of character to boot. The car was intended to take the fight to Aston Martin, and it's fair to say that these rather luxurious roadsters have become a bonafide modern classic - universally accepted and universally beloved.
This handsome example comes to us in a very sporty metallic red and boasts a fresh MOT alongside an extensive paperwork file. It looks to be a very solid, capable example, and we're confident it will tick all the boxes for any enthusiast after a refined, speedy 90s-era classic.
