The Definitive X100 Experience
This is a remarkable, collector-quality example of the Jaguar XK8 4. 2 Convertible. As part of the final evolution of the X100 chassis, it features the highly acclaimed 4. 2-liter V8—the most refined and reliable powerplant in the model's history, paired with the superior 6-speed transmission.
Provenance & History
Coming from its second owner of 14 years, this Jaguar has been cherished with meticulous care. Originally sourced in the USA after a rigorous inspection, the owner ensured the vehicle’s integrity via a flawless Carfax. This confirms a clean title: no flood damage, no accidents, and a fully verified, original mileage.
After spending several years under the gentle sun of France, the car was brought to the Netherlands as a prized personal possession. It has been garage-kept its entire life, and it shows.
