Based on the long-lived XJ-S platform, the X100-generation XK8 marked Jaguar's confident return to the grand tourer segment, pairing a sonorous V8 with elegant lines that echoed the legendary E-Type. By 2005, the model had benefited from years of development, with the refined 4.2-litre engine and smooth six-speed automatic gearbox representing the culmination of the X100's evolution before the arrival of its X150 successor.
This blue example has had just two former registered keepers since its first registration in March 2005 and has covered fewer than 38,000 miles. The car comes with a partial service history and a valid MOT through to July 2027. A couple of items requiring attention are noted in The Detail below, but with these addressed, this low-use XK8 could make for a very rewarding grand tourer.jaguar011.jpg845.57 KB
