Spring 2021 Classics & Collectables Auction
1999 Jaguar XK8 4.0
Chassis No. - SAJJGAED3AH033270
Registraiton - S203 HGP
M.O.T - March 2022
Odometer – 69,221
There is a school of thought that the Geoff Lawson-penned XK8 looks better and better with age. The coupe offered here is certainly an alluring package and a lot of car for the money in today’s market. Its metallic red bodywork contrasts perfectly with the Jaguar’s light tan leather interior, the effect of which is further heightened by the wood trim of the facia, central console and steering wheel. It is a three owner example whose odometer currently displays 69,221 miles. The vendor informs us that the headlining was replaced in 2019 and all the coil packs and sparking plugs were renewed as recently as last year. The car is being sold complete with a ‘full history and original documentation’.
Like the E-Type before it, the XK8 made its debut at the Geneva Salon and was immediately available in either coupe or convertible guise. 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 personality. At the time of the newcomer’s unveiling, Jaguar Cars was owned by Ford, as was Aston Martin, and it made sound economic sense for the XK8 and similarly targeted DB7 to share the same platform; which itself was derived from that of the outgoing XJS. The biggest of many differences between new and old, was the adoption of Jaguar’s second generation independent rear suspension system, previously found on the XJ40 Saloon. Prior to 2003, power came from either a normally aspirated (XK8) or supercharged (XKR) 4.0-litre version of the company’s DOHC V8 AJ26 engine.
In summary:
- Just three owners to date
- Pleasing combination of red bodywork and light tan interior
- Recent maintenance and full history
