This Jaguar XK8 4.2 Convertible is a handsome example of the elegant open-top British cruiser, offered with very low mileage. Under the bonnet is the naturally aspirated 4.2 litre V8, which produces around 300bhp and drives the rear wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. The odometer displays a mere 38,585 miles from new, which is supported by the car's extensive service history. The car is reported to have spent much of its life in a temperature-controlled garage.

This 'X100' XK8 Convertible comes finished in the timeless hue of Ebony Black with a matching black convertible hood, over an elegant Ivory leather-trimmed interior, offset by grey stained birdseye maple trim on the dashboard, centre console and window switch surrounds. Factory-fitted equipment includes Xenon headlamps, heated and electrically adjustable seats with memory function, park assist, air conditioning, dynamic stability control, cruise control and the correct set of 19-inch 'Apollo' alloy wheels. An aftermarket Bluetooth-compatible Alpine DAB stereo has been installed in the cabin. Its original owner's manuals, service book, stereo, toolkit and spare wheel are present, along with a collection of MoT test certificates, maintenance invoices and tax discs. Overall, the Ebony Black paintwork is in very good condition. Inside, the Ivory leather upholstery is thought to be entirely original, now presenting with only some minor age-related creasing mostly on the driver's seat bolsters and back rest.

This Jaguar XK8 4.2 Convertible is a stylish open-top cruiser, with low mileage and a comprehensive service history. Having been kept in a temperature-controlled garage for much of its life, this example would now be ideal for top-down weekend jaunts into the country and longer journeys alike and will no doubt prove to be a comfortable and capable companion for many more miles to come.
