Description
It has a fine service history from Germany and Joe Garage carried out service and inspection before selling it on to a man in Gothenburg. He owned it between 2011 and 2025 and drove it sparingly during summer and it was laid up during winter. The current owner purchased the car in 2025 and during winter 25-26 has carried out necessary upgrades and service.
He has among other things changed the oil in the engine, rear axle and in the hydraulic cylinders to the soft top. Furthermore the centre silencer has been replaced with one for better flow and a KN air filter has been fitted. As the car is somewhat lowered, he has purchased a set of new original springs, these are not fitted but are included with the car.

The XK8 is above all a comfortable long-distance car, but it has sufficient performance to feel sporty at the same time. The interior is typically Jaguar with plenty of wood, leather and classic British GT feel.
As an enthusiast car, the 2003 XK8 is particularly interesting thanks to the 4.2-litre V8 and the later 6-speed automatic gearbox. It is a car that offers plenty of luxury and performance for the money and, with the right example, can be a very pleasant future classic.
