"These models are often sensitive to neglect, but this particular example is the opposite—well-maintained and well-preserved."

Description

It was registered for traffic in Sweden and delivered to its first owner in April 1997 by Ambjörnssons Bil AB in Gislaved. The first owner didn’t drive it much, and after the current owner purchased the car, it hasn’t seen much use either. In fact, this car has practically never been driven in the rain and has always been stored indoors. Maintenance has been carried out according to the service book, and even more beyond that. Today, it has a total mileage of just over 25,000 km, making it likely one of the lowest mileage and best-preserved examples of the model in Sweden. The most recent inspection was completed on 2024-09-06.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine, transmission, and brakes feel like new, as does much of the rest of the car. About a year ago, a front-end alignment was performed, and the rear tires were replaced at the same time.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is clean and inviting with a fresh feel, featuring beautifully preserved leather and wood. There is a small discoloration on the driver’s floor mat. All electrical functions, pixels, and details are in perfect working condition.

  • Exterior condition:

    The original paint is well-polished, with no damage or stone chips, and the original wheels are in great condition, featuring older Michelins in the front and newer Pirellis in the back. The soft top has always been kept up when the car is stationary, and it shows—it’s undamaged and in excellent condition without any marks.

  • General condition:

    An unusually and surprisingly well-preserved example of the model. Finding one with such low mileage and in this condition is rare. The new owner will have a historical responsibility to continue the careful care and maintenance of this remarkable vehicle.

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 produced between 1996 and 2005. Its design paid homage to the curves of the classic E-Type. The XK8 was developed in collaboration with Aston Martin and shares the same platform and chassis as the Aston Martin DB7. Under Ford’s ownership through PAG (Premier Automotive Group, which also included Volvo and Land Rover), much of the interior had a Ford-like feel, and the sense of quality tended to fade a bit too quickly in well-used examples. Not so very Jaguarish, so to speak. The model was relatively affordable, and many have been driven extensively and worn out. Well-maintained cars in good condition are hard to find.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
