Living up to expectations can be a burden. Consider the handsome Geoff Lawson-penned XK8 that followed in the wheeltracks of such automotive icons as the XK120 and immortal E-type. Like the E-Type before it, the XK8 made its debut at the Geneva Motorshow - that of 1996 - and, from launch, was available in either Coupe or Convertible guise. Like its immediate predecessor, the XJS, the original XK8 was more of a Grand Tourer than an outright sports car. 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, endearing 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, power came from either a normally aspirated (XK8) or supercharged (XKR) 4.0-litre version of the company's DOHC V8 AJ26 engine. From 2003 to the end of production in 2006, the 4.2-litre AJ34 unit was employed. In each case, the engine was allied to either a five or six-speed (from 1997 onwards) automatic transmission.

This Jaguar XK8 Coupe, originally delivered on the 30th of July 2004, is a stunning example of automotive elegance and performance. The exterior of the vehicle is finished in a classic black colour, while the interior exudes luxury with its cream leather upholstery. Under the bonnet, this XK8 Coupe is powered by a robust 4.2-liter V8 engine that delivers both power and refinement. The automatic transmission further enhances the driving experience, offering seamless shifts and effortless cruising. Throughout its lifetime, this Jaguar has covered a total of 101,500 miles, showcasing its reliability and durability. The most recent MOT inspection certifies its roadworthiness and compliance with safety and emissions standards, with the certificate being valid until March 2024. Included with this Jaguar XK8 Coupe is a comprehensive History File that adds to its allure. This file contains essential documents, including the driver's handbook pack, the current V5 registration document, and the latest MOT certificate, ensuring all necessary paperwork is up-to-date. Additionally, the History File contains a collection of old MOT certificates, providing a historical record of the vehicle's maintenance and roadworthiness over time. Sundry invoices are also part of the documentation, shedding light on the maintenance and repair work carried out on the vehicle during its ownership. In summary, this Jaguar XK8 Coupe, delivered in July 2004, is a captivating blend of a black exterior, cream leather interior, a potent 4.2-liter V8 engine, and an automatic transmission. With 101,500 miles on the odometer and a valid MOT until March 2024, it is a vehicle that embodies the Jaguar brand's tradition of combining style, power, and luxury.
