Description
With us here at RFH Classics we are delighted to offer this exceptionally low mileage 2006 (56) Jaguar XK8 4. 2 V8 Convertible Automatic beautifully finished in Liquid Silver with a contrasting Black Leather interior and matching Black Electric Hood. Having covered just 39, 900 miles from new and with only 3 former owners, this beautifully presented XK8 represents one of the finest examples of Jaguar's final generation naturally aspirated V8 grand tourer.
Offered in superb condition throughout, the Liquid Silver coachwork perfectly complements the XK8's elegant, flowing lines, while the factory optional 19-inch Atlas 10-Spoke Alloy Wheels provide a purposeful yet understated stance. The paintwork retains an excellent depth of shine with the body panels having an excellent fit throughout. Overall, the presentation reflects a car that has clearly been cherished over the years. Sitting in the driver’s seat reveals a cabin that is unmistakably Jaguar. Beautifully trimmed in Black Leather, the interior offers a blend of luxury and comfort with Electric Memory Driver and Passenger Seats, Heated Front Seats, Automatic climate control, Cruise control and a host of refinement expected from one of Jaguar's flagship grand tourers. The Black electrically operated hood folds away effortlessly with an included Wind deflector making open-top touring comfortable even on cooler days.
Power comes from Jaguar's renowned 4. 2 litre naturally aspirated AJ-V8, producing almost 300bhp and driving through the exceptionally smooth six-speed automatic transmission. Widely regarded as the most desirable engine fitted to the original XK8, the later 4. 2 litre benefits from continual refinement over earlier models, delivering effortless performance, outstanding refinement and the unmistakable soundtrack that only a naturally aspirated Jaguar V8 can provide. Equally at home covering long motorway journeys as it is enjoying a relaxed Sunday drive with the roof folded away, the XK8 remains one of Britain's finest luxury grand tourers. The car comes complete with a printed service record documenting regular maintenance carried out throughout its life and as part of our usual preparation standards here at RFH Classics, it will receive a fresh service prior to delivery.
Introduced in 1996, the XK8 marked the beginning of a new chapter for Jaguar, replacing the long-serving XJS with a thoroughly modern grand tourer inspired by the timeless elegance of the legendary E-Type. Penned under the direction of Geoff Lawson, the XK8 successfully blended classic Jaguar styling with contemporary engineering, creating a car that offered effortless performance, exceptional refinement and genuine everyday usability. Continuous improvements throughout production culminated in the final 4. 2 litre models, such as this 2006 example, which many enthusiasts regard as the most accomplished and desirable version of the original XK8. Today the original XK8 has firmly established itself as a genuine modern classic. As values of well-preserved, low mileage examples continue to strengthen, particularly the later 4. 2 litre Convertibles, finding cars with this level of mileage, presentation and specification is becoming increasingly difficult. Finished in what is undoubtedly one of the XK8's most elegant colour combinations of Liquid Silver with Black Leather, complemented by the desirable factory 19-inch Atlas Alloy Wheels, this Jaguar offers a superb opportunity to own a refined British V8 grand tourer that is equally suited to continental touring, weekend escapes or simply enjoying open-top motoring on a sunny afternoon.
