Highlights
- Early X100 with low displayed mileage
- Smart burgundy metallic with beige roof and ivory leather
- Beautifully original car
- One registered keeper from new
The Appeal
For modern day enthusiasts, the X100 XK8 pulls off a clever trick. It manages to be both svelte, stylish classic and a genuinely usable car with levels of comfort, performance and reliability to match much newer machines.
This burgundy metallic example is a very early car and it is in great condition. We are told that it is a one-keeper car from new. The usual XK8 check areas present well, including arches and sills, and it is pleasingly factory standard. The digital odometer indicates a low mileage, although this is not verified.
This very tidy car is a timely reminder of just why an XK8 is a good alternative to its less characterful German rivals.
