Jaguar XK8

A beautiful Jaguar XK8 with a 4.0 liter eight-cylinder engine. A feline that, apart from the comfortable 'purr' in city traffic, can also really growl when given the space. No raw growl, but restrained potential. The XK8 was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show exactly 35 years later than the E-Type.

The XK8 is built on the XJ-S platform, which in turn was based on the XJ6 platform. The 8-cylinder block with 32 valves and 294 HP was newly developed especially for the XK8. This block offers a lot of comfort and is fast when desired. Maintenance of the car is relatively cheap, because many Ford parts have been borrowed in the composition of the XK8.

The color composition of the 'British Racing Green' and the beige 'Cashmere' upholstery match the appearance of the car; a modest beauty with beautiful lines. The first owner of the car has ticked virtually all the options, including the best stereo system the brand supplied, from Harman Kardon.

With an average highway consumption of 1 in 10, this eight-cylinder is economical for its capacity.
