Description
The Jaguar E-Type remains an icon of style and sports car in the eyes of many car enthusiasts.
Its manufacturer, aware of this, decided to revive the spirit of the classic model in the 1990s, replacing the already aging XJS model.
Mechanically, Jaguar broke with the tradition of using in-line 6 and V12 engines.
The XK8, as its name suggested, was powered exclusively by a 4-liter V8 engine (later a 4. 2-liter), which debuted in this model.
It was characterized by durability and a great sound, easily giving the new "big cat" enough power to be considered a "Gran Turismo."
Today, it is also considered a "Modern Classic" and a car in our catalog.
We invite you to see this example in numbers.

Vehicle History and Condition:
This Jaguar arrived in Poland in 2005 from the United States and has been in the hands of its current owner for two years.
During that time, it received new tires and a battery, and its use was limited to short drives in the summer.
Its actual annual mileage was approximately 300 kilometers.
The Jaguar's bodywork is free from any signs of corrosion, and the "Sapphire Blue" paintwork contrasts beautifully with the light interior trim.
The engine runs smoothly and reliably at all revs, and the "J-Gate" gearbox shifts smoothly and without hesitation.
The electric retractable roof, in addition to its excellent fabric, operates well in both directions.
As expected, Jaguar also boasts a wide range of equipment, including:
– automatic retractable roof
– air conditioning
– leather upholstery, wood trim ("classic trim")
– electric seats
