The sleek-looking Jaguar XK8 first broke cover at the 1996 Geneva Salon as a replacement for the aging XJS. Designed in-house by Geoff Lawson, the newcomer (in common with the Aston Martin DB7) was based on a much-modified XJS platform - the changes to which included the adoption of XJ40-type independent rear suspension. The standard version of the XK8 was powered by a 290bhp normally-aspirated version of the company's AJ26 V8 engine, and for those requiring more performance, Jaguar offered a supercharged version, the mighty XKR. Like the XK8, this 370bhp monster was available in closed or open guise and could hit 60mph in a whisker over five seconds and power quickly to the electronically-limited top speed of 155mph.
First registered on 1st February 2001, this particular XKR convertible is presented in the attractive combination of Metallic Silver with contrasting Dark Grey leather interior and features the rare option of a Green veneer dashboard and gear selector surround. Benefiting from having covered just c.39,500 miles from new, ‘X887 NGJ’ boasts an impressive specification including incredibly rare 20-inch BBS ‘Paris’ alloy wheels, a stainless steel exhaust system, heated electric seats, electrically adjustable steering wheel, cruise control, climate control, sport mode, Bluetooth telephone connectivity, auto headlights and wipers, heated rear screen, electric folding mirrors, CD multi changer, comfort access, electric roof , wind deflector and more.
Now in current ownership for the last 8 years; with the last 4 having been spent in Spain, this lovely example is offered for sale with its original bookpack, a collection of previous invoices and MOTs, the V5 Document which displays 4 former keeper and an MOT valid until 30 June 2023.
