Seller's Notes

This Jaguar XK8 is a tastefully specified example of the marque’s modern classic grand touring coupe, presented in good useable condition and with low mileage from new. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 4.0-litre V8, producing around 216kW and sending it to the rear wheels via a smooth five-speed automatic transmission. This XK8 was originally a Japan-delivered model, which was recently imported to Australia, is has been with its current owner for 18 months. The odometer indicates just 45,509 kilometres from new. This XK8 is finished in Titanium Metallic over a Warm Charcoal leather-trimmed interior, featuring a four-spoke steering wheel with wood trims, and swathes of wood veneer trim throughout the cabin. It rides on 17-inch ‘Revolver’ alloy wheels, which are fitted with Dunlop Veuro VE303 tyres. Equipment includes a multifunction steering wheel, air conditioning, electrically adjustable heated front seats with driver memory, electric windows, electrically adjustable door mirrors, cruise control, central locking, and an analogue. This example now features a Panasonic VA70 CD changer stereo system. The car comes with its Japanese export certificate and its auction report from Japan with proof of mileage, as well as its boot-mounted spare wheel. The seller notes that there is only one original ignition key included in the sale. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition.

The car’s last inspection of roadworthiness was conducted in September 2024, during which the seller reports that no warnings or advisory items were noted.
