AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
IN RESTORATION:
• Iconic British grand tourer powered by a V8 engine
• Equipped with a fully functioning soft-top canvas roof
• Model supplied with a document case and original instruction booklet
HISTORY/PANORAMA:
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, flowing lines designed by Geoff Lawson, it was the first Jaguar to adopt an eight-cylinder V8 engine. This example is in running condition; it has been idle for a period and requires general maintenance and cosmetic and functional restoration work.
BODYWORK/PAINT:
The bodywork shows signs of age, scratches and spots that have undergone partial repainting. The front bumper is cracked, the rear tailgate is currently jammed (missing the tailgate and fuel release buttons), and the paint and windscreen seal are flaking. Cracks are also found in the rear lights, door seals are deteriorated, and the door seal housing is damaged. The canvas roof is operational, though the fabric is somewhat damaged and needs cleaning.
INTERIOR:
The cabin shows widespread wear. The leather upholstery has scratches, marks and in some areas the padding is peeling away. There are damages to the cup holder, the steering wheel is worn, door sills are damaged, and some dashboard buttons do not function. The original document holder and instruction booklet are present.
MECHANICS:
The car is running and the gearbox appears to function. Since access to the trunk is not possible to reach the main battery, starting requires the use of the jump points located in the front hood (via booster). The V8 engine is equipped with an aftermarket sports air filter. Sporadic activation of the ARS (stability/traction) warning light on the instrument cluster is noted. The tires are in normal condition with a DOT code of 2005. The car requires a service and general mechanical maintenance before road use.
DOCUMENTS:
The vehicle comes with the circulation documents shown in the images. The service history is not available (book service missing) and only one ignition key is provided.

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.
