This listing is for a beautiful 1997 Jaguar XK8 Convertible in opalescent sapphire over biscuit leather and rich dark walnut. I purchased this vehicle recently and have enjoyed commuting back and forth to work downtown, never any issues. The car has been extremely well cared for to a surprising degree, it was lady driven previously and always garage kept, so no fading or sun-damage. It has around 74K miles on it and is a very nice driver, only taken out in nice weather and driven sparingly. The convertible top goes up and down as it should without issue, everything works. In my experience it has been very trustworthy and I wouldn't hesitate to take it on a cross-country road trip on a whim. I also have an XK8 coupe and an XJ-S V12 and would have to say this is the nicest driver of the three. I purchased the car certified-pre-owned from an Acura dealership and they actually warrantied it for six-months based on it's condition. As with any 16-year-old car, there are minor flaws here and there as well as signs of being driven, this is not a perfect car. To drive it is to be admired, the experience of downshifting the auto-manual and riding on a wave of torque to 100mph is absolutely visceral and rewarding. For the money, XK8's are the only option. The car comes with all books as well as two driver's keys, one valet key, and two key fobs. Here is a YouTube video that I have taken of the car with engine start and rev as well as a short walk around: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d29LnmqAFY8 I would be more than happy to answer any questions you might have or send additional pictures and information. If you need to know particular details about the car, feel free to let me know and I will go out to the car and send additional pictures or video.
