Living up to expectations can be a burden. Consider the handsome Geoff Lawson-penned XK8 that followed in the wheel-tracks of such automotive icons as the XK120 and immortal E-type. Like the latter, it made its debut at the Geneva Salon - that of 1996 - and from launch was available in either Coupe or Convertible guise. Powered by a normally aspirated 4. 0-litre DOHC V8 AJ26 engine allied to automatic transmission, the 2+2-seater was an effortless performer.
Finished in the handsome combination of Sapphire Blue Metallic with Cream leather upholstery (the latter offset by a Black dashtop, door cappings and carpets), this four owner example is understood to have covered a modest 63, 000 miles from new. Averaging out at 2, 625 miles per annum, the Jaguar’s digital odometer reading is supported by thirteen service stamps (including eight main dealer ones) and its past MOT history. Starting readily during our recent photography session, the XK8 ran well with its roof opening and closing on demand. Said to be in ‘good overall’ condition for its age, ‘Y231 MNA’ is offered for sale with Tonneau cover (plus associated bag), JEC paperwork, original book pack (service booklet, owner's manual) and current V5C Registration Document.
