1997 Jaguar XK8
***NO RESERVE***

Registration - R988 XAR

Chassis No. - SAJJHAMD3CR822434

M.O.T. - No

Odometer - 116,018

This stealthy 1997 Jaguar XK8 Coupe is being offered at No Reserve. The vendor describes its condition as ‘good’ throughout, with an interior that “looks to be immaculate”. It features some custom upgrades, including a Jaguar ‘leaper’ on the bonnet, LED rear lights and, inside, orange piping for the black leather and Alcantara seats. There’s even a retro Motorola carphone in the centre console, and a factory-fit Harman Kardon stereo. ‘R988XAR’, which was registered in September 1997, has an odometer reading around 116,000 miles. It currently doesn’t have an MOT, simply because the vendor ran out of time to compete it. A model featuring the highly desirable Jaguar 4.0-litre V8, as identified by the ‘growler’ badge on the bonnet, this car presents an attainable way into modern classic Jaguar ownership with the appeal of No Reserve.

The Jaguar XK8, known by marque aficionados as X100, was introduced in 1996 to revive the storied XK series. It was offered as a two-door coupe or convertible, powered by the all-new Jaguar AJ-V8 engine. Intriguingly, the architecture was derived from the Jaguar XJ-S and was related to the Aston Martin DB7 – both cars were based on a 1980s concept that never reached production. The beautiful styling referenced the original Jaguar E-type with a long bonnet and graceful lines, while the enchanting interior was a luxurious haven that reflected Jaguar’s range-topping aspirations for its new grand tourer. The model range was further developed with a high-performance supercharged Jaguar XKR version, and was later updated with an enlarged 4.2-litre engine.

  • 1997 Jaguar XK8 offered at No Reserve
  • Factory-fit Harman Kardon stereo
  • Period Motorola carphone in the centre console
