The Gold Cup 2025 Classic, Performance & Supercar Auction
1998 Jaguar XK8 Coupe
***NO RESERVE*** Current ownership for 11 years and maintained by a classic car specialist
Registration – R381 NGC
Chassis No. – SAJJGAED3AR021509
M.O.T. – April 2026
Odometer – 60,862
A refined and elegant grand tourer from one of Britain’s most successful coupes, this 1998 Jaguar XK8 presents superbly in a classic combination of metallic blue coachwork over cream leather upholstery. Displaying a remarkably low 60,862 miles, this much-cherished example has resided with its current owner for the past 11 years and has covered just 6,000 miles in the last three.
The vendor informs us that although the car has a partial service history, it has been exceptionally well maintained during their ownership, having previously run a classic car business. This attention to detail is evident in the overall presentation and mechanical condition of the car. The history file includes documentation and previous MOT certificates, and the car retains its factory charm throughout. The XK8’s smooth V8 performance, luxurious interior, and timeless styling continue to make it a highly desirable modern classic.
The logbook lists seven former keepers, though the vendor states four of these are from within the same family — further underlining the level of care and continuity of ownership. Supplied with a long MOT through to April 2026, this example represents an excellent opportunity for the enthusiast or collector alike.
In summary:
- Just 60,862 miles from new, with only 6,000 miles covered in the past three years
- Current ownership for 11 years and maintained by a classic car specialist
- Offered without reserve
