Description

This car was registered for traffic in Sweden in October 1999. Fully equipped with: traction control, electric seats with memory function, electric mirrors with memory and heating, electrically heated front and rear windows, power windows, trip computer, outside temperature gauge, multifunction steering wheel with memory, cruise control, driver and passenger airbags, ABS brakes, power steering, ACC (automatic climate control), stereo with CD changer and electric antenna, auto-dimming rearview mirror, etc.

The previous owner acquired the car in November 2010. They kept the car for ten years and regularly serviced it, including replacing the timing chain tensioners and lambda sensors. Additionally, they had the thermostat housing replaced with aluminum and the AC system overhauled in 2018, and the automatic transmission refurbished with converter replacement and valve block adjustment in 2020. Furthermore, bodywork and paint jobs were carried out between 2018-2019, and the front and rear seats were refurbished in 2019 (Color Glo).

The current owner purchased the car in April 2020 and has driven approximately 400 miles. They have replaced the ignition coils in 2021 and refurbished the ABS control unit in 2023.

The car is fitted with summer tires 245/255, 45 R18 on original XKR aluminum wheels. It comes with all original handbooks and documents in Swedish, as well as various receipts, etc.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    It sounds like the car has a good engine and drivetrain, and it starts smoothly and easily. During acceleration from a standstill, it may be a bit eager, which is normal for a car of this type. All functions such as steering, gear shifts, and brakes worked well. The fact that the steering wheel was slightly off-center in neutral position suggests that it may need adjustment or there could be something that needs addressing.

    It’s positive that there were no comments from the Vehicle Inspection, but it’s always good to also check the car on a lift to ensure that everything underneath is in good condition.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is in good condition with mild signs of use. The seats and rear seat were refurbished five years ago. There is some wear on the driver’s seat from getting in and out. The door panels, carpets, and wood trim are in good condition, as is the headliner. The steering wheel, controls, and instruments appear to function well. The CD changer has been replaced, and a newer electric antenna has been installed.

  • Exterior condition:

    The paintwork is glossy and in good condition with signs of use such as minor stone chips and a few small dents. There are also small “bubbles and blisters” at the rear edge of a front fender, wheel arches, and sills. Glass, rubber/plastic parts, and lighting details are in good condition. The wheels and tires are in good shape. The engine bay and trunk are also well-maintained.

  • General condition:

    This car is perceived as quick and dynamic, even when stationary. With this model, Jaguar returned to the British sports car era after having glanced across the Atlantic for a while. The model, color combination, and condition now make this 25-year-old vehicle an intriguing classic and enthusiast car.

Facts about the model

The XK8 model succeeded the XJ-S, which had been in production for over 20 years. The new model was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1996 and was manufactured from 1996 to 2005. It represented a thoroughly modern and updated vehicle compared to its predecessor. At the same time, its design flirted with retro elements from the iconic E-Type.

The engines were V8s paired with five and six-speed automatic transmissions. Until model year 2002, the engines were 4.0L with fuel injection in the XK8 and supercharged in the XKR variant.

The interior featured leather upholstery, plush carpets, and wood trim, providing a cozy and exclusive ambiance. For the 2006 model year, a significant upgrade was introduced with Generation II.
