AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
IN RISALTO:
• Iconic British grand tourer powered by a V8 engine
• Equipped with a fully functional fabric convertible top
• Model supplied with a document holder and original instruction booklet
STORIA/PANORAMICA:
The Jaguar XK8 (X100 series), introduced in 1996 as the successor to the XJS, marked a new era for Coventry’s grand tourers. Characterized by its smooth, sinuous lines designed by Geoff Lawson, it was the first Jaguar car to adopt an eight-cylinder V8 engine. This exemplar is in running condition; having been static for a period of non-use, it requires general maintenance and cosmetic and functional restoration work.
CARROZZERIA/VERNICIATURA:
The bodywork shows several signs of age, scratches and areas that have undergone partial repainting. The front bumper is cracked, the rear trunk lid is currently jammed (missing the trunk release button and fuel), and the paint and windshield gasket are peeling. There are also cracks on the rear lights, deteriorated door seals and damaged door weatherstrips. The fabric soft top is functioning, though the fabric is somewhat worn and needs cleaning.
INTERNI:
The cabin exhibits widespread wear. The leather upholstery shows scratches, marks and, in some areas, padding detaching. There are damages to the cup holder, a worn steering wheel, damaged running boards, and some instrument panel buttons not functioning. The document holder and original instruction booklet are present.
MECCANICA:
The car is running and the gear is functioning. Since the trunk cannot be opened to access the main battery, starting requires use of the jump points located in the front hood (via booster). The V8 engine is equipped with a non-original performance air filter. Occasional ignition of the ARS light on the dashboard is noted. The tires are in normal condition with DOT code 2005. The car needs a service and general mechanical maintenance before road use.
DOCUMENTI:
Vehicle provided with the circulation documents attached in the images. The service history is not available (book service missing) and only one ignition key is supplied.

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.
