Jaguar XK8

Launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 1996, the stunning Jaguar XK8 Coupe was the replacement for the venerable XJS which had in turn supplanted the E-Type. Designed by Geoff Lawson, who had also penned the stunning XJ220, it shared its platform with the Aston Martin DB7 to which it bore a more than passing resemblance. The first Jaguar ever with an eight-cylinder engine, its 4-litre V8 produced 290bhp and could waft the car to an electronically limited 155mph top speed. With magnificent ride and handling characteristics, it made a fine long distance tourer and offers huge value in the current market.

This particular car was first registered in July 2000 and has covered some 92,200 miles with 10 service stamps to date. It was last serviced about 5,000 miles ago when two new front tyres were also fitted. Appearing to be in very smart condition throughout, it comes in a very attractive metallic blue with a notably clean cream hide interior. With just four owners from new it is said to drive beautifully and is MOTd until February 2013.
