SUMMARY

Beautifully built and great to drive, the X100-generation XK8 is a great entry into modern classic convertible motoring. Offered without reserve.

DESCRIPTION

  • It took a long time for the Jaguar XJS to be accepted in the classic world but years before that happened its successor, the XK8, was being heartily embraced by classic car fans
  • When new, the 4-litre, 32-valve, AJ-V8 generated 290bhp and offered 0-60 in 6.4 seconds and 156mph
  • This example is presented in British Racing Green with an Oatmeal and Mushroom interior, a matching mohair hood, and 17" alloys
  • Pleasingly the private registration J500 XKB is to remain assigned to the Jaguar and does form part of the sale
  • In good overall condition offering real value for money, open-top motoring
  • Has formed part of a private Collection in recent years with little use therefore an element of recommissioning is to be expected
  • With that in mind we welcome and encourage your early inspection to satisfy yourself that the vehicle fulfils your expectations
