The Appeal
This low mileage XK8 is arguably the sort of Jaguar convertible you want to find. It’s reported to be a one-keeper, low keeper car that has been well maintained throughout its life.
Finished in rare Phoenix Red with a Cashmere leather interior and beige fabric roof, it is a well presented car. That eye-catching paintwork is accented by a set of chromed alloys.
The XK8 makes a great and supremely comfortable touring car and this example will certainly stand out wherever it goes.
