Vehicle Detail
Offered for auction is this 1998 Jaguar XK8 convertible. I am the second owner of this car, and have only put a few thousand miles on it. The gentleman I bought it from got it direct from the dealer (for a great price i'm told) after it was 'totalled' by the dealerships insurance, having been involved in flooding due to Hurricane Floyd. The car shows no sign of damage from this event other than the tainted salvaged title. This is an opportunity to own a classic luxury sports car for a low price due to this title. The car needs work, but runs great and is great fun to drive. The 4.0 liter motor is powerful and results in spirited acceleration.. even at high speeds, putting the pedal down still launches you forward. This car is a head turner, even though its not perfect. It needs some front end work. It is a project car for someone who wants to restore it or a great weekend car to cruise around town in as is. The black leather interior is in good shape except the drivers seat which is very worn as pictured. The shift knob is cracked im told from the previous owners bulldog trying to take a bite. Some plastic trim is cracked, the cup holder is broken. I'd love to keep the car but baby needs a new pair of shoes.
