The Appeal
Here is a rarity: a one-keeper XK8 convertible that has covered only 56,000 miles in its 25 years. With these cars amongst the most popular of modern classics, this one is quite a find.
That sparing use by one person is carried through into the condition. Finished in attractive Platinum Silver metallic with Warm Charcoal black leather cabin, the car is highly preserved and presents well in all the usual areas you will want to check on these cars, such as arches, sills and floors.
The maintenance history tells a similarly fastidious story, showing regular servicing to 1,000 miles ago by Jaguar main dealers. The MOT provides independent verification, showing no advisories and running to December 2025.
The XK8 is the sort of modern classic that works equally as a daily, a touring car and a cherished classic. This is one of the best we’ve seen in a while.
