The Appeal

Over the years Jaguar has built an enviable reputation across the world for creating some of the best performance cars. The Jaguar XK is regarded as one of Jaguar’s best, a brilliant example of both modern styling, with outstanding performance to match.

Constructed from lightweight aluminium, Jaguar gave XK drivers a much more performance focussed experience, with a legendary 4.2L V8 engine at its heart. With all the advanced electronics and modern creature-comforts you could need, it’s a truly outstanding car.

This fine XK is resplendent in the rare colour of Ultraviolet Metallic with a smartly contrasting Ivory and Light Grey leather interior. With an excellent Service history, low miles and few fastidious owners it is a particularly nice example.

Summary

The lucky winning bidder will be picking up a car that is in fine mechanical fettle and ready for anything they may want to throw at it. The XK8 is a hugely capable GT car that is equally happy around town as it is crossing continents and this is a good opportunity to get in on the ground floor before they go up in value. Keep up the excellent Service History and it is likely to pay dividends in the future.
