Grace, Pace & Top-Down Elegance

Unveiled at the 1996 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar XK8 marked a bold new era for the marque, replacing the long-serving XJS. Internally known as Project X100, it was the first car to feature Jaguar’s all-new 4.0-litre V8 engine, delivering 290 horsepower through a silky-smooth automatic transmission.

This XK8 Convertible embodies the effortless elegance and grand touring spirit Jaguar is renowned for, a car that combines British craftsmanship with the power and poise of a modern classic. The design language, with its flowing lines and feline stance, remains timeless nearly three decades later.

This particular example stands out with its Ice White exterior, green soft-top, and beautiful two-tone green interior, a rare and striking colour combination. It presents in good overall condition and runs beautifully, the V8 still purrs with refinement and power, encouraging you to drop the top and enjoy the drive.

A true modern classic that’s as enjoyable to own as it is to admire, the XK8 is a perfect entry point into the world of grand touring Jaguars.
