2000 Jaguar XK8 Coupe. less than 3500 coupes were made during the entire multi-year production of the first gen XK8, so they are quite a different animal from the many convertibles produced. Rare and sought after, especially in this black and tan color combination. this body style was initially meant to become an Aston Martin, but Jaguar snapped it up instead, and created an instant classic. all the cool of the original xke, but with modern V8 power and amenities. 114k miles. and the most important question...........the engine was replaced and has had the critical metal timing components upgrade, so you can expect years of driving pleasure. the transmission has also been replaced and recent service work performed. upgraded factory 18" chrome wheels. upgraded with Shelby exhaust system and enlarged stainless oblong tips for a powerful cat growl and better breathing. pleasant low pitched exhaust note at idle, turns into exhaust music when cruising, and roars in anger when you put your foot down on the gas. real leather re-upholstery to the driver's seat and center console will provide years of comfortable use. aggressive tire tread and a tasteful lowering of the vehicle gives it a more aggressive stance and sportier look than other like Jaguars. tinted light lenses and the carbon fibre kit which adorns the dash to complete the sportier look that this particular jaguar wears, the factory premium alpine speakers remain, but the stereo has been upgraded to bluetooth/mp3/hands free and a rear free range sub-woofer and amp give you great sound . the trunk mounted cd changer is still in place but not being utilized, in case that is something that would be of importance to you. although far from perfect this is a great daily driver/weekend cruise/ grand touring car that is always fun to drive with great Jaguar heritage. california title in hand. no rust. hvac system is not operating properly, it blows cold, but has a freon leak. abs and traction system dash lights have been on for all of my years of ownership, but don't affect my driving in the least, just never bothered to mess with them. you will love the motor and sound that comes out of this cat !! please come inspect this vehicle prior to bidding, and have your permissions already in hand. there is a $500 non-refundable deposit due with winning bid within 24 hours. worldwide shipping available. please no after auction games. this is a lovely car that has been enjoyed & loved. please keep in mind it is still a 24 year old used car. if you are expecting a concours winning vehicle, you might choose to look at a much more expensive vehicle. on close inspection this vehicle has imperfections you would expect to find on a 25 year old auto. this car draws admiration everywhere it goes, and its styling, just like its predecessor, the XKE seems to have timeless styling that will always be pleasing.
