The Bolesworth Castle May 2024 Classic & Performance Car Auction
1998 Jaguar XJ8
***NO RESERVE*** Just 40,000 miles from new and 1 owner from new
Registration - R440 KDS
Chassis No. - SAJJJALG3CR834255
M.O.T. - July 2024
Odometer - 40,000
This 3.2-litre Jaguar XJ8 V8 is resplendent in popular and very fitting Sea Mist metallic with a champagne leather interior (which is described as being in ‘excellent’ condition). It has had only one owner from new and has reportedly been garaged all of its life. The odometer reads just 40,000 miles and the vendor reports that, for the past 26 years, it has always been MOT’d and serviced by the same people, initially at Royals and then at acclaimed Jaguar specialists Horner & Hudson of Macclesfield. Along with the full service history, this car also includes the original Jaguar owner’s manual, owner’s folder and service book, plus the original spare wheel. The engine, transmission and electrics are described as being in ‘excellent’ condition and, overall, the vendor says it is “a very looked after and cherished example”.
The fabled X308-generation Jaguar XJ8 was introduced in 1997 as the third and final iteration of the 1986 Jaguar XJ40 architecture. While it was visually similar ot the previous X300 generation, it gained new Jaguar independent rear suspension and, most notably, a home-grown new AJ-V8 engine, replacing the previous in-line six-cylinder engines. It also received a brand new interior, similar to that of the new Jaguar XK8 GT car. Contemporary reviewers almost universally agreed that Jaguar had produced a world-class luxury saloon, and it went on to be a well-loved and popular range of cars right up until it was succeeded by the aluminium-bodied X350 Jaguar XK in 2002.
In summary:
· V8-engined Jaguar XK8 in popular Sea Mist metallic
· Odometer reads just 40,000 miles
· Looked after and cherished example
