Our customer, who is the first owner of this car, offers for sale this 1998 Jaguar XK8 Convertible, a luxurious and timeless cabriolet featuring a 3.0L V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission. Known for its refined style and powerful performance, the XK8 offers a blend of comfort and classic Jaguar driving dynamics. The car has covered 266,750 km, reflecting regular use (about 10.000 km per year) and maintenance over the years.
The exterior of the vehicle shows some signs of use such as small chips or scratches that are typical for a car of this age.

The Jaguar XK8 was introduced in the late 1990s as the successor to the iconic XJS, embodying the brand’s shift towards a more modern and streamlined design language. The XK8 was celebrated for its smooth lines, luxurious interior, and the introduction of Jaguar’s new V8 engine, which brought enhanced power and efficiency. As a convertible, it offers an open-top driving experience that is both engaging and comfortable, with the soft top easily retractable for sunny days. The XK8 combines the elegance of classic Jaguars with modern technology, making it a desirable choice for enthusiasts of British motoring.
Overall, this Jaguar XK8 Cabriolet only has minor cosmetic wear and tear noted. The car runs well and presents an excellent opportunity to own a piece of Jaguar heritage at a reasonable price.
