The sleek-looking Jaguar XK8 first broke cover at the 1996 Geneva Salon as a replacement for the aging XJS. Designed in-house by Geoff Lawson, the newcomer (in common with the Aston Martin DB7) was based on a much-modified XJS platform - the changes to which included the adoption of XJ40-type independent rear suspension. The standard version of the XK8 was powered by a 290bhp normally-aspirated version of the company's AJ26 V8 engine, and for those requiring more performance, Jaguar offered a supercharged version, the mighty XKR. Like the XK8, this 370bhp monster was available in closed or open guise and could hit 60mph in a whisker over five seconds and power quickly to the electronically-limited top speed of 155mph.
Finished in a fetching Black exterior with Cream leather interior 'J2 YYV has covered just 77, 800 miles from new and has had 6 former keepers.
