The XK8 in its most ultimate form; Convertible, 4.2 V8, 6-speed automatic transmission.
Because there is so much fun with this XK. The classic shapes of the first XK8, combined with the wonderfully shifting six-speed gearbox and 4.2 V8. Smooth, fast, comfortable. A real Grand Tourer!
Midnight Black Mica, Champagne leather, approximately one square meter of real wood veneer, a wooden steering wheel and 19-inch Apollo rims. All this together with the beautiful xenon headlights makes the XK incredibly attractive.
The previous owner shared this opinion, that’s for sure. The Jaguar was always maintained by Jaguar specialist Stouten & Keijmel. As winter approached, the Jaguar was stored indoors for a longer period of time, year after year. No less than 15 years in a row. By the way, that is an interesting story; The previous owner was active in the car industry. To avoid road tax during winter storage and still remain insured, the Jaguar was invariably indemnified every year and then renamed with the first rays of sunshine of the new season. The result is one owner and yet many registrations. All this is of course fully documented in the supplied folder and therefore completely transparent. Beautiful, right?
It is clear that absolutely no cuts were made on maintenance and cosmetic work. It is precisely that maintenance that counts. What is often overlooked is that the Jaguars and Daimlers from the 1990s and 2000s have now become true classics. This means that you have to be extremely precise when looking for a neat copy. This also applies to us. Regardless of the impressive appearance, a mountain of misery can be hidden; rust and deferred maintenance; warp and woof.
Then take XK from this story. No strange damage, a neat bottom and chassis, no overdue maintenance.
Even the woodwork has been polished. A classic in this condition is worth it, and the enthusiast appreciates that!
Get into the Jag and you will enjoy the most beautiful dashboard from the 90s and 00s. The interior in Champagne leather. Of course you will find burl walnut wood in abundance, the gear knob and the steering wheel are also equipped with it. The seat, the steering wheel… as if time has stood still. It is clear; This is a well-preserved copy. Important detail; The 4.2 V8 is the first AJV8 that actually no longer has plastic chain tensioners and guides, so don’t worry about that, the modification is not relevant.
You also notice it in everything when you drive this Jaguar; the car is in top condition. It’s the little things that make this stand out. This way, the car steers very tightly, without any play in the parts of the chassis. The six-speed gearbox changes gears smoothly and almost imperceptibly and the engine runs nicely, as it should.
Even the original cover for the convertible top is present, of course also in Champagne. A windstopper in the exact color scheme is supplied with the car, as visible in the photos.
Are there any negatives, you ask? I honestly can’t think of any. To mention something; The front bumper shows minor damage at the front left, although this is not noticeable. Not a problem, but worth mentioning. Was that it? Yes, that was it. Compare that to the average offer and you will be amazed.
The key set consists of 2 keys with remote control. The complete service folder, maintenance invoices and history are present with the Jaguar. Naturally, maintenance was carried out last week so that the XK is completely ready for the new enthusiast.
There is still a lot to say about this Jaguar, but you will of course only get a good impression when you view and drive the car. you are very welcome in Oirschot, the coffee is ready.
