Description from the seller
GENERAL:
Jaguar XK8 Convertible 4.0 V8 DOHC 24V from 1997 with 109,000 miles.
This beautiful Jaguar XK8 is finished in the classic British Racing Green and sits on original Jaguar alloy wheels with good tires. The powerful 4.0 liter V8 engine delivering 280 hp is paired with an automatic transmission, providing a very comfortable and smooth driving experience.
The XK8 features a stunning interior with beige leather upholstery and a stylish wooden dashboard, giving a true luxury appeal. This Jaguar is a genuine enthusiast’s car and guarantees lots of driving pleasure.
BODYWORK AND PAINTWORK:
The car is finished in the original color British Racing Green. The paint is largely original and in decent condition for the car’s age. Here and there there are small scratches and light signs of wear.
Both under the hood and in the trunk the car looks very well cared for and the underside is bone dry.
TECHNICAL:
The engine runs very well, the automatic transmission shifts smoothly and the car drives excellently. The Jaguar is well maintained and offers a comfortable and powerful driving experience thanks to the 4.0 liter V8 engine with 280 hp.
The hydraulically operated convertible roof functions perfectly. The car is equipped with, among other things, ABS, traction control, power steering, and a dual exhaust.
INTERIOR:
The interior is finished in neat cream/beige leather and is in a handsome and well-maintained condition. The classic character of the Jaguar clearly comes through in the beautifully finished wooden dashboard and the wooden steering wheel.
The seats are comfortable and the interior exudes luxury and quality. The center console lid shows light signs of wear that match the age of the car.
DOCUMENTS:
The car comes with a clean Carfax report and all original booklets are available.
PICK-UP:
The car can be viewed and optionally picked up in Damwoude, the Netherlands. If desired, we can help arrange transport across Europe.
OTHER INFORMATION:
This Jaguar originates from California, Utah, and Florida and has had four owners in total. Given its age of 29 years, there may always be small signs of wear or minor improvement points. We strive to describe our cars as honestly and accurately as possible, but they are used vehicles.
If in doubt, we advise you to come view the car in person.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
