The Appeal

The XK8 signalled Jaguar's return to the grand touring market, with a design that echoed the legendary E-Type. The perfect choice for European grand touring, while eminently capable of daily driving duties, there versatile cars are a worthy addition to any garage.

This 2006 example has been thoughtfully modified to resemble the sportier XKR variant, giving it a more aggressive aesthetic appeal while maintaining the luxurious character of the standard XK. The vehicle presents in good condition for its age with a cream leather interior complemented by chrome and walnut trim, creating a refined cabin environment. Having been garage-stored until recently and with a relatively fresh MOT, this Jaguar offers an attractive proposition for anyone seeking a stylish modern classic GT.
