The Appeal
The X100 XK8’s arrival on the modern classic scene is very welcome. Svelte, comfortable, quick and eminently usable, these cars are perfect for relaxing road trips or weekend wanderings. They even make great daily drivers.
This very tidy 2001 convertible fits each of those roles. Finished in the popular combination of Pacific Blue metallic matched with Oatmeal/Antelope leather, it has been well looked after by its four keepers. They have kept the history file up to date with regular servicing and amassing a thick history file. As a later post-2000 car it has the improved and more durable version of the 290bhp AJV8 engine, which also makes it ULEZ compliant.
There are few signs of age inside and out and it comes to market with a long, advisory-free MOT to July 2025.
