Inspired by fifty years of remarkable luxury cars, the Jaguar XK8 was in many ways the perfect tribute to the legacy of the Coventry 'Big Cat'. An impressive 4.2L V8 powerplant, distinctive nostalgic styling and palatial interiors make the XK8 a superb ambassador for one of the UK's greatest manufacturers.
This eminently usable example of the XK8 is ready for its next owner, and is sure to prove a very eager companion on the road. These cars are only growing more popular as a new generation of drivers discover them, and this is a superb opportunity to get behind the wheel!
