Living up to expectations can be a burden. Consider the handsome Geoff Lawson-penned XK8 that followed in the wheeltracks of such automotive icons as the XK120 and immortal E-type. Like the latter, it made its debut at the Geneva Salon - that of 1996 - and from launch was available in either Coupe or Convertible guise. Power came from a normally aspirated 4.0-litre version of the company's DOHC V8 AJ26 engine.
This home market 1998 Coupe sports Sherwood Green Metallic bodywork teamed with an Ivory leather and 'Classic' wood interior and is equipped with automatic transmission. Having owned the Jaguar since 2006, the vendor describes its bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, V8 engine and automatic gearbox as all being in "excellent" condition. He informs us that the Jaguar has been maintained "regardless of cost" and is apparently selling it complete with bills for servicing, repair and upgrades totalling in excess of £5,000, plus service book containing nine main dealer and five Jaguar specialist (XJK Ltd) stamps. In addition to the wooden trim, the upgrades include: wood/leather steering wheel; front number plate lowering kit; Harman Kardon sound system; and 20-inch Sepang split-rim alloy wheels. Engine work has included the fitting of upper and lower timing chain tensioners, water pump and VVT valves. The XK8's MOT is valid until June 23rd 2013.
PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle has an intermittent fault with the driver's side electric window.
