The seller offers for sale a 1997 Jaguar XK8 Coupe with an automatic transmission and a 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine. Delivered new in Spain and remaining within the same family ever since. The seller describes the paintwork as being in good order with nothing needed, and the interior as beautiful and well preserved with an attractive wood-and-colour combination and no wear on any pieces. The car is said to start without issues, the engine runs well, and the gearbox shifts smoothly. Equipment mentioned includes cruise control, heated electric seats with memory, an electrically adjustable steering wheel, and a CD changer, while the radio is noted as not original. The current documented mileage is 39.000 km and it holds a valid technical inspection.
Introduced in the mid-1990s, the Jaguar XK8 helped re-establish Jaguar as a maker of stylish grand tourers, blending classic British elegance with modern refinement. Its long-bonnet proportions and smooth V8 character make it a relaxed yet capable coupe, suited to comfortable cruising as well as confident motorway driving. The XK8 is appreciated for offering a distinctive alternative to German GT cars of the era, with a more traditional design language and a sense of occasion behind the wheel. Today, well-kept examples are sought after for their timeless looks, enjoyable V8 soundtrack, and the comfortable, wood-trimmed cabin atmosphere that feels unmistakably Jaguar.

Photographs may not reflect the exact true colour or exact full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
