Description
Jaguar XK8 | 2000
Highlights
– 4.0-litre 8-cylinder petrol engine
– Restored exterior and interior by previous owner
– Clean leather cabin with wood trim
The seller offers for sale a 2000 Jaguar XK8 coupé powered by a 4.0-litre eight-cylinder petrol engine paired with an automatic transmission. This example was registered in 2020 and had three owners. The second owner undertook a restoration of both the exterior and interior, repainting the car and refurbishing the leather seats and wood finishes. The current owner has used it as a second car and notes that it must now be sold due to personal circumstances. The body shows a fresh repaint, while the interior presents clean and restored. All lights reportedly do not function, though the car has a valid inspection. It is described as being in good condition and will qualify for historic status in four years.
The Jaguar XK8 marked a significant moment for Jaguar when introduced in 1996, replacing the long-running XJS. It combined flowing lines with a modern V8 engine, offering refined performance and a comfortable grand touring experience. The XK8 featured an elegant cabin with traditional wood elements and supple leather, maintaining the brand’s classic luxury style. Its smooth power delivery and relaxed handling made it popular among drivers seeking a stylish GT capable of long-distance travel. Today, the XK8 holds growing appeal among collectors for its design, balanced performance and place in Jaguar’s evolution toward more modern engineering. Well-kept examples offer an enjoyable blend of comfort, style and V8 character.
