1997 Jaguar XK8 Convertible
***NO RESERVE*** Only one former keeper and full service history
Registration - P704 PTM
Chassis No. - SAJJGAFD3AR010872
M.O.T. - May 2024
Odometer - 78,318
This highly original Jaguar XK8 Convertible has the rare honour of boasting just one former keeper. The odometer reads just over 78,000 miles, a mileage supported by the full service history, and the vendor says it was supplied new by Hadley Green Garage in Hertfordshire “and still has the original dealer sticker in the rear window”. It is finished in a subtle and classy metallic blue with a cream interior, and both are described as being in ‘good’ condition. The interior also features Jaguar’s famous walnut wood veneer, which is described as being in ‘excellent’ condition. The folding convertible roof is electrically operated, and has a matching cream interior liner. What’s more, the 4.0-litre V8 engine and automatic transmission are said to be in ‘excellent’ condition, as are the electrics. This cherished Jaguar XK8 comes with the original book packs, which include the driver’s manual and service booklet, detailing the car’s full service history. With the Jaguar brand set to be reborn in 2025, this is a great opportunity to buy a genuine modern classic.
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.
In summary:
· Cherished Jaguar XK8 Convertible offered for No Reserve
· Only one previous keeper and includes original service booklet
· Classy combination of metallic blue with cream leather and walnut interior
