Quentin Willson Bag the big Jaguar XK8 Coupe for not much swag - Mirror.co.uk
I’ve just looked at a 1997 Jaguar XK8 Coupe with 66,000 miles and lots of service history for £3,795. Offered by a private seller in Auto Trader and looking absolutely mint, I couldn’t believe my eyes. And remember, these first-generation XK8s were penned by the same bloke who designed the DB7 – Jaguar’s chief designer Ian Callum – who, incidentally, has just been named one of Top Gear Magazine’s Men of the Year. All this stunning, lightly used XK needs is a non-dating plate to take away the horrible P-reg. As a luxurious GT with cinematic looks, it’s a titanic bargain for less than four grand. There are plenty of independent specialists that will ease the bills, but even Jaguar dealers will give you 20 per cent off servicing rates because it’s a classic. Firms like David Manners Group in Birmingham have lots of discounted parts too. So, celebrate that fuel won’t be going up for a while yet and buy yourself what has to be the best value grand touring coupe in the world. For canny buyers looks like Christmas is coming early.
