The Jaguar XK Series – discover the magic and drive the dream. The XK8 was an acclaimed machine upon introduction and would go on to become the highest selling sports car in the history of the great British marque. It is loved by enthusiasts around the world for its stunning feline curves and equally graceful interior. Advanced technologies make driving the car an effortless pleasure with calm and effortless refinement. With sporting intensity and assured luxury, you too can experience the pedigree of craftsmanship.

The design of the Jaguar XK8 is undoubtedly derived from the legendary XK-E body (E-Type) sports car of the ‘60s. The XK8 design was unveiled in 1997 and the rear-wheel drive sports Jag intended to improve upon the previous XJS model. Jaguar claimed the XK8 had a 25-percent increase in body stiffness over its predecessor. Additionally, this car was the platform for which Jaguar introduced their newly configured 4.0-liter V-8 engine with twin overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder. The novel console-mounted “J” gate gives the driver the option of taking control of the gears that control the roaring powerplant, or selecting to enjoy the comfort of an automatic transmission.

On this particular 1998 model, the dark red complements the tan interior and similarly-toned convertible top quite nicely. Inside, one can admire the elegantly crafted burl walnut dash. It is in excellent condition and is well-optioned with a power-operated soft-top that comes with glass window and electric defroster. This notably well-maintained Jaguar is in very nice condition and comes with many power features and brightly finished factory alloy wheels. This is a great opportunity to own a superb Jaguar convertible modeled in the renewed spirit of the celebrated E-Type.
