The seller offers for sale a Jaguar XK8 from 1998, a stylish British grand tourer combining elegance and power. This coupe is equipped with a 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine paired with an automatic transmission. Imported from Italy in 2013, the car has been cherished by enthusiasts and always kept indoors. The bodywork looks tidy with only minimal signs of age, while the interior presents cleanly with light wear. The engine starts without hesitation, produces no smoke or unusual sounds, and the gearbox shifts smoothly without noise. The car is free of visible rust or accident history and drives exactly as expected from a well-maintained XK8.
When introduced in 1996, the Jaguar XK8 replaced the XJS and marked a new era for the brand, blending classic proportions with modern performance. It shared the new AJ-V8 engine, known for its refinement and effortless power delivery, while the cabin offered the luxury and craftsmanship typical of Jaguar. The XK8 quickly became a symbol of understated British style—ideal for long, comfortable journeys and admired for its timeless design. Collectors appreciate it as one of the last truly elegant GTs from Jaguar’s traditional lineup.

The description of this car is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Route 66 Auctions requests a range of detail about the car from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. We strongly advise potential buyers to view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy.
Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible cars to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be hard to see even upon visual inspection. Unless there is an explicit statement by the seller to the contrary, please assume that any vehicle could have had bodywork or paintwork. 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.
