The Big End of Year Auction at Bolesworth Castle, Cheshire

 
Lot 25
 

2007 Jaguar XK8 Coupe
Used by a private individual to fund-raise for charity, with all proceeds going to a children’s hospice

Registration – XO07 XKC

Chassis No. – SAJAC43P085B21349

M.O.T. – July 2026

Odometer – 75,000

Finished in a bold Castrol-inspired livery over silver paintwork, this eye-catching British grand tourer has been used by a private enthusiast to raise money for a local children’s hospice, with all proceeds from this sale being donated to the charity. Sitting on colour-matched red alloy wheels with contrasting green detailing and a large rear wing, it’s a striking one-off that has been a regular feature at shows and fundraising events.

The cabin is trimmed in cream leather with electric front seats, dark dashboard and centre console, and the rotary-style automatic selector. Equipment includes dual-zone climate control, factory audio / infotainment with navigation, multi-function steering wheel, cruise control and front and rear parking sensors, making it a very usable long-distance cruiser despite its race-inspired exterior.

Accompanying the car is the original handbook pack and stamped service portfolio. The maintenance record shows main-dealer and specialist entries from new, including early visits to Guy Salmon Maidstone, later services at recognised independents, and recent work carried out by Sheffield Prestige. The most recent stamp is dated August 2025 at 75,221 miles, and the odometer now reads around 75,000 miles.

An MOT is in place until July 2026, and the car is offered with its current registration number X007 XKC. For anyone seeking a distinctive modern classic with strong history that also supports a worthwhile cause, this charity-fundraising coupe is a compelling opportunity.

  • One-off Castrol-inspired livery, red alloys and large rear wing, used regularly at shows and events

  • All proceeds from this sale being donated to a local children’s hospice

  • Well-documented service history with main-dealer and specialist stamps up to around 75,000 miles
