2003 JAGUAR XK8 4.2 CONVERTIBLE

KEY FACTS

• An elegant and stylish open-top cruiser, presented in smart overall condition and supplied with a detailed service history from new.
• Under the bonnet is the naturally aspirated 4.2-litre V8, which produces around 300bhp and drives the rear wheels via a six-speed ZF automatic transmission.
• First registered in January 2003, the car was acquired by the seller two years ago, and has proved to be a reliable companion throughout their ownership.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This X100-generation XK8 4.2 is finished in the demure hue of Quartz Grey with a black convertible hood and Dove Grey leather upholstery, accented by handsome dark wood veneer trim.
• Factory-fitted equipment includes air conditioning, cruise control and electrically adjustable front seats.
• It rides on the correct set of 17-inch split five-spoke alloy wheels, which are in very good order, with only a few minor marks on their surfaces.
• The car will be accompanied by its original handbook, documentation of its service history and a number of past MOT test certificates.

CONDITION

• There is no significant damage to the bodywork, with just one small dent towards the front of the driver’s door, which a PDR technician should be able to remove.
• Believed to be entirely original, the Quartz Grey paintwork presents well given the car’s age but does feature some minor blemishes, including small scratches around the vehicle, a scuff on the passenger-side door mirror cover, marks on the front bumper and surface corrosion on the inner rear wheel arches and at the front of the passenger-side sill.
• The convertible hood fits snugly over the frame below, and is free of any rips or tears.
• The interior is also very smart, with some minor wear and discolouration on the driver’s seat bolsters and the lower dashboard, as well as a small stain on the driver’s door card.
• There are no known electrical or mechanical faults with the vehicle, and there are no warning lights showing on the dashboard.
• The car’s last MOT test was conducted on 18 February 2021 at 54,632 miles, resulting in a first-time pass with no warnings or advisories.

SERVICE HISTORY

• This XK8’s most recent routine maintenance was carried out in July 2019 at 54,162 miles, when the engine oil and oil filter were changed.
• Prior to this, a general service was carried out in April 2017.
