The Appeal

Introduced as a replacement for the XJS, Jaguar recaptured the essence of the E-Type when it launched the X100 XK in 1996. It proved an excellent grand tourer, blending the very best of classic style and modern technology.

The convertible proved particularly popular, and we're delighted to offer this lovely 2003 example which is one of the coveted post-facelift models with a 4.2-litre AJV8 with a six-speed automatic gearbox.

The car comes with its USA title and European import documentation, all duties and VAT have been settled, simplifying the process for European buyers. Located in Schiedam, Netherlands, this XK8 Convertible is ready for its next owner to register in their country of choice.
