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 latter, it made its debut at the Geneva Salon - that of 1996 - and from launch was available in either Coupe or Convertible guise. Power came from a normally aspirated 4.0-litre version of the company's DOHC V8 AJ26 engine.

This particular Jaguar was manufactured in 1996 and supplied to "Frost's Jaguar" of Portslade in the latter months of that year; ‘P230 WAP’ was first registered in the UK on 2nd January 1997. This early, well presented, example of an XK8 is finished in Jaguar 'Pacific' Blue with a Cream leather interior and matching soft-top. There are 2 former keepers recorded and a mere c.66,000 miles displayed on the odometer, averaging under 2500 miles a year in it's lifetime. Supplied with original dealership paperwork - a 'Total Care' letter (with card still attached) along with breakdown and corrosion warranty information - the book pack’s service record shows 6 main dealer service entries from "Frost's Jaguar" at 5,352, 10,815,14,718, 18,432, 21,422 and 27,448 miles, followed by a collection of services carried out by independent garages. There are receipts on file for work that includes alloy wheel refurbishment, along with the current V5C.
