JAGUAR XK8 Convertible Chassis number : SAJAA42M12NA29865 Date of release: 2003 Mileage on the odometer: 48400 km The car -The Jaguar XK8 is first and foremost an incomparable atmosphere, with a cabin that remains true to Jaguar's fundamentals, lining every square inch with leather and precious woodwork and featuring full standard equipment. Nothing to do with the cold, sanitized side of Germanic production. -It's also a very sensual, curvaceous, elegant line, whose bow opens with an oval mouth that can only remind one of the famous Type-E. Jaguar is inseparable from the sporty yet elegant coupé and cabriolet. -It is from this tradition that the XK8 was born in 1996! First presented as a coupé, then as a cabriolet from 1997, the XK is back in the soul of the brand. -Powered by a 293hp 4.0 V8 engine, the beautiful English car takes advantage of the Fordist rigour to say goodbye to the electronic worries dear to its ancestors. -Indeed, this XK is the fruit of its forced union with the American giant Ford. However, despite some initial fears, the best of Jaguar is preserved. The XK8 benefits from a rigorous construction imposed by Ford, tending towards "zero defects", allowing you to consider buying this beautiful GT, perfect for the British way! Beautiful, high-performance and luxurious, the Jaguar XK8 is an exceptional car, whatever the version. -Under the hood, this feline purrs with pleasure with a smooth 293 hp 4.0 V8 (pushed to 304 hp in October 2002). The car -The lot we are offering for sale was registered in April 2003. -It has covered only 48,314 km since then and is in good general condition with the exception of some joints as described in the report. -The road test confirms that the engine is sound, that the handling is very good, as is the shifting of the gears. -For more information and the complete vehicle condition report, please refer to the vehicle sheet at
