The Appeal

The Jaguar XK8 marked a significant moment for the marque in the late 1990s, pairing Geoff Lawson's flowing coupe lines with a smooth 4.0-litre V8. As values of its XJS predecessor continue to climb, the XK8 has quietly established itself as a compelling modern classic offering grand touring refinement and performance at an accessible level.

This 1998 example has been in the current owner's care since 2012 and has been garage stored throughout that time. The vendor describes it as being in really good condition for its age and reports it is very nice to drive. Some interior reupholstery has been carried out following rodent damage, described by the vendor as completed to a high standard.
