1999 Jaguar XK8 Convertible

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Introduced for the 1997 model year, the Jaguar XK8 succeeded the long-running XJS with a design that blended classic Jaguar proportions with modern engineering. Drawing inspiration from the legendary E-Type and powered by Jaguar's all-new AJ-V8, the XK8 delivered the effortless performance, elegant styling, and refined grand touring character that enthusiasts have come to associate with the brand. Today, early XK8s have found a growing following among collectors and enthusiasts drawn to the Radwood era, where their combination of luxury, power, and timeless design has become increasingly appreciated.

Purchased by the seller in 2017, this 1999 Jaguar XK8 Convertible is powered by a 4.0-liter DOHC V8 paired with a ZF five-speed automatic transmission. Finished in Topaz Metallic with a beige power-operated convertible top over Oatmeal leather upholstery with burl walnut trim, the car is equipped with chrome 17-inch Revolver alloy wheels, heated power-adjustable front seats, automatic climate control, and other luxury amenities.

Service under current ownership has included replacement of ignition-system components, cooling and brake hoses, the water pump, various gaskets and fluids, and struts.

This 1999 Jaguar XK8 Convertible is now offered at no reserve with factory literature, partial service records, a CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and a clean Colorado title in the seller’s name.
