Living up to expectations can be a burden. Consider the handsome Geoff Lawson-penned XK8 that followed in the wheel tracks 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 Salon in 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. Before 2003, the power came from either a normally aspirated (XK8) or supercharged (XKR) 4.0-litre version of the V8 AJ26 engine.
YS02HFM was first supplied by Hatfields Jaguar on 25th July 2002 and then acquired by the current owner just over a year later in October 2003 the vehicle has been very well looked after and always garaged. With stacks of kerb appeal, finished in Light Blue metallic with Ivory leather interior and electric retractable soft top, it really does present well. The vehicle comes with a fresh MOT, New battery, service books, some invoices, current V5C and two sets of keys. The present owner is reluctantly selling this beautiful vehicle as part of a downsizing exercise.
