The 1997 Jaguar XK8 is a luxury grand tourer that was introduced as a replacement for the outgoing XJS model and was the first car to feature Jaguar's all-new AJ-V8 engine. The XK8 was available in both coupe and convertible body styles, both of which were praised for their sleek and timeless design. Under the hood, the XK8 was powered by a 4.0 litre V8 engine that produced 290 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque. The engine was paired with a five-speed automatic transmission that delivered smooth and seamless shifts. This powerful combination allowed the XK8 to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 6.7 seconds.

This stylish convertible version of the XK8 presents well in the classic Jaguar colour combination of a lovely shade of light gold with a beige interior with a black hood. It also benefits from a wood and leather steering wheel, wooden gear knob, automatic climate control, power adjustable seats and alloy wheels. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document, first registered on 26th June 1999 to its first owner and has only had three former keepers. The history file contains a collection of older MoTs alongside a new MoT valid until March 2026, so it is ready to go and enjoy straight away. It also has a collection invoices and receipts, along with the stamped service book and the service pack which it has had from new. Overall, the Jaguar XK8 is a true masterpiece of automotive engineering that combines sleek styling, impressive performance, and luxurious amenities. Consigned by Mathew Priddy
