M.O.T. - November 2022
Odometer - 75,500
XK8s are extraordinary value for money at present and this 2000 example would surely put a smile on the face of any Jaguar enthusiast. Finished in Anthracite Black and trimmed in ivory-coloured hide, it has remained in its current ownership since 2010, and presently displays an unwarranted but very probable 75,500 miles from new. It rides on refurbished 20” BBS Detroit split rim alloy wheels featuring their original gold-painted centres flanked by new chrome outer rings and a fresh set of tyres. The original radiator grille has been replaced by a three-piece XKR one, and the Jaguar benefits from the recent replacement of the front brake discs and pads, battery and roof headlining, and the transmission being serviced as recently as April this year. The vendor informs us that ‘X445 NNK’ has a solid floor, is corrosion free and that the paint is in good order, though it does inevitably have a few marks here and there. Overall he currently classes the luxury interior as ‘excellent’ and the V8 engine, five-speed automatic transmission, coupe bodywork and paintwork as ‘good’. He is now offering this charismatic cat complete with: radio/cassette and multi-change CD player; heated, electrochromic door mirrors; electrically operated seats; Jaguar floor mats; pair of keys; original owner’s manuals and wallets; full service history and a fresh MOT.
Like the E-Type before it, the XK8 made its debut at the 1996 Geneva Salon, and from launch was available in either coupe or convertible guise. Like its immediate predecessor, the XJS, the original XK8 was more of a grand tourer than an outright sports car. It also had the distinction of being the first Jaguar to be powered by an eight-cylinder engine. This then, was a cat with strong DNA but also its own distinctive endearing personality.
