This Jaguar XK8 got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1997 Jaguar XK8 coupe is powered by a 4.0-liter V8 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission and finished in black over matching leather upholstery. Additional equipment includes 17″ Revolver alloy wheels, fog lights, heated and power-adjustable front seats, cruise control, and a cassette stereo with a six-disc CD changer. The car was acquired by the seller in 2008 and was listed on BaT in May 2023. Work since 2022 reportedly consisted of fluid changes along with replacing the ECU, alternator, ABS modulator pump, and the timing chains and tensioners. This XK8 has 43k miles and is now offered with manufacturer’s literature, a car cover, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Ohio title in the seller’s name.

The seller notes the rear bumper cover was replaced before the body was refinished in 2011. Scratches are noted on the left door, and photos of the finish and trim are provided in the gallery. The high-mounted third brake light was replaced in preparation for the sale.

The 17″ Revolver alloy wheels wear Continental ExtremeContact DSW tires measuring 245/50 that were installed in 2011. The car is equipped with traction and stability control, and stopping power is provided by four-wheel ventilated disc brakes. The ABS modulator pump was reportedly replaced in 2022, and the front brakes have been modified with Powerstop cross-drilled rotors and EBC Red Stuff pads.
