About this car

This Jaguar XK8 coupe pairs the 4.2-litre V8 and ZF six-speed automatic with a period-correct Seafrost metallic and Ivory leather combination. It was first registered on 30 September 2002 and supplied by Paramount Jaguar in Derby, where it served as a demonstrator.

It has had four keepers from new, the last of them for 12 years. The history file is thick: an original service book with 18 stamps, 20 MOTs and invoices totalling £15,281.61 under that long-term owner. The recorded mileage climbs steadily from 8 miles at pre-delivery inspection to 93,481 today.

The 19-inch Apollo alloys have been refurbished and wear Michelin 245/40ZR19 tyres bought in May 2024. A usable, well-documented example of a car now priced as an affordable modern classic.
