Like the E-Type before it, the XK8 made its debut at the Geneva Salon and was immediately available in either coupe or convertible guise. It also had the distinction of being the first Jaguar to be powered by an eight-cylinder engine. This then, was a ‘cat’ with strong DNA but also its own distinctive personality. At the time of the newcomer’s unveiling, Jaguar Cars was owned by Ford, as was Aston Martin, and it made sound economic sense for the XK8 and similarly targeted DB7 to share the same platform; which itself was derived from that of the outgoing XJS. The biggest of many differences between new and old, was the adoption of Jaguar’s second-generation independent rear suspension system, previously found on the XJ40 Saloon. Prior to 2003, the power came from either a normally aspirated (XK8) or supercharged (XKR) 4.0-litre version of the company’s DOHC V8 AJ26 engine.

First registered in September 1999, 'V467 KOH' is finished in eye-catching Sapphire Blue Metallic and rides on the factory optional 18" alloy wheels. The interior is a perfect combination of comfort and practicality, with space for four occupants surrounded by supple two-tone leather and wood veneers. Supplied new by Paramount Jaguar of Stourport, this one owner example has only covered just 29,700 miles from new (atoc) and is offered with the original book pack, handbooks and replacement service book with 15 stamped entries. Whilst the V5C document shows one former keeper, this was simply an address change for the sole owner – Mr. J. A Simpson in December 2005. The car is to be sold with a valid MOT certificate for twelve months and offers a rare opportunity to become just the car's second custodian in twenty-three years. With values rising for low-mileage, modern classics, 'V467 KOH' could prove to be a very shrewd investment for the purchaser.
