Finished in black with a contrasting cream leather interior, this elegant grand touring coupe presents as a refined example of Jaguar’s modern classic V8 powered sports car. The exterior retains the model’s flowing lines and unmistakable Jaguar styling, complemented by factory alloy wheels and subtle chrome detailing. Inside, the cabin offers the marque’s traditional blend of comfort and craftsmanship with soft leather seating, wood trim and a well appointed driving environment designed for effortless long distance touring.
Under the bonnet sits the smooth and powerful 4.0 litre V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission, delivering the relaxed performance and refinement for which these cars are well known. The vendor informs us that the vehicle has had just two previous keepers and is supplied with its V5C registration document. With an M.O.T valid until July 2026, the car offers immediate usability as an enjoyable and stylish modern classic grand tourer.
Introduced in the late 1990s, the XK8 marked a new era for Jaguar, combining timeless design with modern engineering and the company’s then new AJ-V8 engine. The model quickly gained a reputation for delivering strong performance, refined comfort and everyday usability, making it a popular choice among enthusiasts seeking a luxurious yet engaging sporting coupe. Today these cars represent exceptional value in the classic GT market while retaining the unmistakable character associated with the Jaguar name.
