21k-Mile 1998 Jaguar XK8 Convertible

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The 1998 Jaguar XK8 marked the reintroduction of the XK-Series, introducing a modern grand touring convertible with classic British elegance. Powered by a naturally-aspirated 4.0-liter V8 producing 290 horsepower and paired with a five-speed automatic transmission, the XK8 delivered smooth, refined performance with a 0–60 mph time of about 6.5 seconds.

Showing just 21,150 miles, this 1998 XK8 Convertible is finished in rarely-seen Antigua Blue Metallic over beige leather upholstery and features a power-operated convertible top. The cabin showcases classic Jaguar luxury with wood trim on the dashboard, console, and doors, along with power-adjustable front seats, and dual-zone climate control. The car rides on factory 17-inch alloy wheels and is said to remain unmodified throughout. Reported recent maintenance includes a convertible top hydraulic fluid service, new battery, and an engine oil change.

This low-mile Jaguar is now offered at no reserve on dealer consignment with a clean CARFAX history report, owner's manuals, and a clean Florida title in the current owner’s name.
