2002 Jaguar XK8 4.0L

Highlights

  • Good service history 
  • Performs well on the road
  • An excellent way into a V8
  • Convertible roof works well
  • Still has its tonneau cover 

The Appeal

The XK8 was Jaguar's first foray back into the two-seater sports tourer category since the E-Type, so it had big boots to fill. However, with that being said, it managed to fill them well. It had all the key components it needed, such as a powerful V8, a smooth automatic gearbox, and an electrically operated roof section. 

This example has been well looked after by all of its owners, it still starts first time on the key and pulls away effortlessly with a slight burble from the exhaust, but it is when you get out on the road that it comes into its own.

The History and Paperwork

  • Leaving the Coventry factory on the 20th of September 2002 it has gone on to live a life split between 5 owners
  • The previous owner had the car from 2014 until very recently, so they must have loved it. 
  • Although there are no big invoices to talk about it does have a well stamped service book
  • Receiving stamps from both Jaguar main dealers and specialists it is clear to see that it has been looked after properly 
  • It may have clocked up nearly 20,000 miles in its first year, but since then it has increased steadily 
  • The service book has been photographed and can be found in the gallery
  • This XK8 still has a lot of the original handbooks, these are all held neatly within its Jaguar embossed document holder
  • Although there may not be a lot of invoices, it is clear to see that this example has been looked after well
  • What makes this even better is the current owners know a thing or two about Jaguars so this should give you some peace of mind
  • It is now your chance to add to the history of this big cat, wherever you take the car it will create many memories for you

The Interior

  • Lovely leather condition 
  • Lots of wood trim
  • Comfortable place to sit
Jaguars are as much about their comfort as they are about their performance. With this in mind, it is then vital that the interior is an experience in itself. Filled with high-end materials this example has a great interior that you will enjoy every second spent within it.

If we start by looking at the black leather seats, we can see that they are presented in good condition. You may see some minor marks on the leather, but importantly they are not ripped or stained. We must also mention that both of the front seats are also heated, meaning you could use this car year round if you wanted to. 

From the driver’s seat, you are presented with the Jaguar embossed part leather steering wheel that will be the key to so many happy motoring miles in the future. You will also be within easy reach of the classic Jaguar J gate gear selector. If you are pootling along in town then simply leave it in drive, but if you wish for a little more fun out on the country roads then you can use the gate to choose the gears manually. This just adds another dynamic to the interior without adding another pedal.

Set behind the steering wheel and gear selector you’ll find the wonderfully preserved wood veneer dash. This wood section adds yet another luxury touch inside this modern classic. It is hard to say whether or not it has been kept within a garage, but as there is no obvious sun bleaching or lacquer peel it looks like it has been kept out of the sun. 

As this is the roadster variant the most important part of the interior is of course the retracting fabric roof. With the roof up the interior feels like a focused driving car, but with the roof retracted the cabin is filled with light and the sounds of the big V8 ahead of you. Whether you travel with the roof up or down you will enjoy every moment sat within the interior of this XK8.

The Exterior 

  • Under the radar specification
  • Well presented for sale
  • Good alloy wheel condition
  • A beautiful looking modern classic
  • Always will turn a few heads
The XK8 is a sleek, and beautiful looking sports tourer. The long bonnet leading to the elliptical mouth is very reminiscent of its elder brother, the E-Type. This example is presented very well externally, and it should look great sitting pride of place on your driveway or in your garage.

Finished in a rather stealthy silver on silver it still manages to look stunning, the simple sweeping lines of the X100 XK variant are still visible through the silver paint, and it makes for one excellent-looking car. This paint has recently received a bit of TLC from the current owner which has removed any unwanted marks on the paintwork. 

The alloy wheels fitted to the car, also finished in silver, are presented in good to very good condition. If you look carefully enough you may find one or two marks, but on the whole, they look as if they have been looked after.

Turning our attention to the roof we can see that it too is in good condition. When erected there are a few fold/crease marks to the hood, but it does still seem to keep the water out. When the weather improves you can retract the roof at the press of a button and it will stow neatly behind the rear seats, you can hide it away nicely under the original tonneau cover that will come with the car. 

You will be getting a great looking car for your money that’s for sure.

The Mechanics 

  • Large V8 under the bonnet
  • Good service history
  • Smooth automatic gearbox
We have finally made out way to a section where, once again, this XK8 will shine. Under the long bonnet, you will find a 4.0l V8 that fires into life straight away and idles nicely. This engine has been well serviced by both Jaguar main dealers and Jaguar specialists, which means it should carry on for some time to come.

Mated to the big V8 is a nice and smooth 5-speed automatic transmission that changes gear effortlessly. This transmission will make every journey out in this modern classic a pure dream, it is effortless to drive around.

Whether you intend to use this car as a stylish long distance cruiser or B-road blaster it will perform both tasks with ease, always leaving a smile on your face. In the modern world big, naturally aspirated, V8s are dying out so this could be your last chance to experience one of the greatest engines to ever be made.

Come funzionano le offerte massime

Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.

Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.

Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.

Incrementi di offerta automatica

  • Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
  • Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
    • Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
    • Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.

Ammontare dell'offerta Incremento
Da £0 a £9,999 £100.00
Da £10,000 a £49,999 £250.00
Da £50,000 a £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

Superamento immediato dell'offerta

Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.

Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.

Offerte massime di pari ammontare

Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.

Pre-autorizzazione

Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.

Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?

Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.

Problema con l'offerta

Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
