Description
- Purchased new in 1997 by our vendor’s father and remaining within the same family ever since, this elegant XK8 Convertible has formed part of a large private Collection
- Attractively finished in Carnival Red with a contrasting Biscuit leather interior and showing just 26,642 miles at the time of cataloguing
- Powered by Jaguar’s refined all-aluminium, 32-valve, naturally aspirated 4.0-litre AJ-V8 driving through a five-speed automatic transmission, combining effortless performance with elegant grand-touring capability
- Retains its original leather document wallet, handbook and period handover VHS cassette, accompanied by a history file containing service receipts, previous MOT Certificates and old tax discs
- Benefited from a major service by Appleyard Garage in 2021 and presents beautifully throughout
- Following a period of limited use within the Collection, an element of recommissioning will be required before returning the car to active use
