A classic British grand tourer combining elegant styling, effortless performance and genuine open-top motoring, this 1999 Jaguar XK8 4.0 Convertible makes an appealing modern-classic proposition.

Powered by Jaguar’s 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine, the XK8 produces approximately 290 bhp, giving it strong, smooth performance with the relaxed character expected of a luxury GT. Power is delivered through a 5-speed automatic transmission, with rear-wheel drive and ample torque making the XK8 particularly enjoyable for both spirited driving and long-distance cruising.

The XK8’s sophisticated chassis provides a comfortable yet composed drive, while its low-slung proportions, sweeping bonnet and distinctive Jaguar styling give it considerable road presence.

A stylish and capable grand tourer, the XK8 offers the opportunity to enjoy 4.0-litre V8 power with the roof down, making it equally suited to relaxed summer cruising or longer continental journeys.

A desirable Jaguar classic with an unmistakable presence and a superb V8 soundtrack.

Enjoyed and loved by its one owner in Ireland who purchased this car from a then well known outlet in Dublin 4 in 2005. It has been in everyday use and serviced initially by main dealer and subsequently by a specialist. 

In excellent mechanical condition and with a recent set of Falken tyres dated  2023. The electric soft  top is in good working order and in good appearance. Interior is very good with tidy leather seats and carpets. Polished woods show a good lustre, All gauges are working. A more modern Continental stereo with Bluetooth is fitted along with electric aerial. Airconditioning blows ice cold.

Body and underside are very solid though paintwork has been done and redone in several areas following encounters with the previous owner's narrow gates to his residence. From several feet away the car looks stunning but closer examination shows the paint is not to factory finish.

I'm endeavouring to provide car with a new NCT following it failing its initial test recently mainly on worn dust caps on 2 ball joints and a track rod end. Please check back for updates.

Car comes with selection of 3 keys, one partially working fob, also complete book pack with service book that's been partially stamped up.

Taxed till October car has only 29 months to go before the current rate of €1805 a year reduces to €56. It currently is eligible for classic insurance which can be around €200 a year.
