The Appeal
Launched in 1996 to replace the ageing XJS, the XK8 marked a return to form for Jaguar. Its flowing lines echoed the good looks of the E-Type although its performance was thoroughly modern, showcasing the firm's newly developed 32-valve 'AJV8'.
Clearly, Jaguar were onto a winning formula and the XK range was lauded by journalists and customers alike. The most exciting of the range was the XKR, which was enhanced by the addition of an Eaton Supercharger and we're delighted to offer this 4.0-litre example from 2000. This big cat is very healthy specimen, with numerous service stamps, five advisory-free MOT passes in a row and just 59,996 miles on the odometer.
