Updated for the 2003 model year, Jaguar’s XK8 gained a larger, more powerful 4.2 litre V8 engine and (even) smoother shifting six-speed automatic transmission. Available in either Coupe or Convertible guise, the latter proved the more popular. An accomplished grand tourer, the 2+2-seater was limited to 155mph and was for more exclusive than the contemporary Mercedes-Benz SL.
Owned by two ladies from new (the current since 2015), this 4.2 litre V8-engined example has covered circa 125,000 miles. Reportedly ‘a well looked after car that has seen regular usage’, the soft-top roof has been replaced during the vendor’s tenure. Starting readily and running well during our photography session, we noted some very minor surface rust to the inner faces of the wheelarches and an area of slight discolouring on the driver’s seat. Like many an XJS or XK8 Convertible the rear three-quarter windows can misbehave on occasion but we have observed all four panes both raised and lowered. The Big Cat’s last long journey was from Bedfordshire to the Peak District which it completed without a hitch. Now ready for only its third keeper, this appealing XK8 is offered for sale with original book pack, assorted invoices / old MOTs, V5C Registration Document and MOT certificate valid until March 2026.
