Description:In Brief:
On the Surface: This low-mileage example of a 1997 Jaguar XK8 Convertible is finished in Zircon Blue Metallic with an Electric Blue soft top, paired with an Ivory leather interior.

Maintenance records, including invoices totaling approximately £3,000, further demonstrate the car’s careful upkeep. Originally supplied by Hartwell Jaguar of Bristol, this XK8 has been owned by The Vendor for the last five years. Over that time, it has seen minimal use but with its low mileage and clear maintenance history it stands as attractive buy. The Model: The 1997 Jaguar XK8 was part of the first generation of the XK series, introduced by Jaguar in 1996. It marked the debut of the new 4.0-litre AJ-V8 engine and was built on the XJ-S platform that was shared with the Aston Martin DB7, both tracing their lineage to the XJ41/XJ42 project of the 1980s. The XK8, available in both coupé and convertible forms. Sale Insight: The Vendor is parting with this XK8 due to minimal use over the last few years.
