The Appeal

Bankrolled by Ford and developed to replace the long lived XJ-S, the Jaguar XK8 was destined for greatness from the outset. Its styling borrowed from the best bits of Jaguar’s past triumphs, under the bonnet lay the new AJV8 and inside, it boasted a supremely luxurious interior.

Here we have a particularly fine convertible example which dates from 2000. It stands out with its Arden body kit, electric blue paintwork and contrasting magnolia leather upholstery. The addition of an Arden body kit and unique 20" bolted cross-spike alloys gives it a distinctive and aggressive look.

Owned for the past 13 years, this well-maintained example is reluctantly offered for sale. The extensive service history, previous MOT certificates and magazine articles that come with the car provide a comprehensive record of its life and maintenance.
