The Jaguar XK was made between 1996 and 2014, across two generations. It was a fine two-door four-seat grand tourer from this iconic British luxury automaker that aimed to offer a laid back yet potent driving experience. Naturally, Jaguar also made it in drop-top form, for those who like an open-air experience. While the second generation is a sharp looking vehicle that’s still quite modern today, the first generation is a definite future classic. That’s why you should seriously consider buying this California-based 1997 Jaguar XK8 Convertible that we’ve got for sale. This car has traveled 118,956 miles so far, which shows how nice it is to drive. Moreover, it’s said to be all original, and the hydraulic pump has been replaced.
Wearing a black coat, this 1997 Jaguar XK8 Convertible shows off its intricate lines and classic Nineties styling, which is the design work of Geoff Lawson. The car’s powered black convertible top further adds to its monochrome palette, while its five-spoke alloy wheels come in silver, and are once again, a distinctive design that can be found on many Jaguars from the same period. The tan interior of this 1997 Jaguar XK8 Convertible offers leather-upholstered seating for up to four adults. It’s well equipped, with air conditioning, climate control, power locks, power mirrors and power windows. You’ve also got analog gauges, and we’re told that the gas gauge doesn’t work, but that’s usually a minor fix. The gauges illuminate in a pleasing shade of green, and are a real treat to look at during night drives. The front seats have heating as well, and you’ll find the traditional Jaguar J-gate shifter for the automatic transmission of the car. You’ve also got a Jaguar branded radio with cassette tape player within the center console. The driver’s seat does show some signs of wear, but once again, shows that this car has been enjoyed, and is waiting to give further enjoyment to its new owner.
Packing a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 under the hood, every cruise in this 1997 Jaguar XK8 Convertible is a memorable one. The engine drives the rear wheels via a 5-speed automatic gearbox for a seamless driving experience.

One of Jaguar Car’s sleekest and most timeless modern models with definite future classic status has got to be the first-generation XK. This grand tourer was made between 1996 and 2006 before the second generation took over. It was intended to replace the long-running XJS, and did so in a pretty comprehensive fashion. Offered in coupe and convertible forms, the XK could be had with six or eight cylinder power. Naturally, the latter is what most people want, and it’s what we have here. Behold, a 2003 Jaguar XK8 Coupe that’s got under 131,000 healthy miles to its name. That is an indicator of two things. One, this is a car that is very nice indeed to drive. Two, it’s built well, and if maintained properly, can easily double that figure in your hands. Your hands? Yes, this charismatic purring cat is up for sale in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Are you yearning for a modern British grand tourer from a renowned automaker with a V8 under the hood? If so, look no further than this X150-series 2014 Jaguar XK from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This car comes with an uber-low mileage of just 7,750 miles on the odometer, and is a one-owner vehicle. The X150 era of the XK was produced between 2006 and 2015, with over 27,000 examples made during that time. Now, these cars are gracefully aging and starting to look even better, especially when you consider today’s cookie-cutter EVs and soulless PHEVs. This car also comes with some nice 20-inch Orona 8-spoke polished wheels and is a drop-top!
Jaguar’s XK8 marked a major turning point for the brand in the late 1990s, introducing its all-new AJ26 V8 engine and ushering in a fresh era of grand touring performance. This 1998 Jaguar XK8 Coupe represents the first generation of that evolution, blending classic Jaguar styling cues with modern engineering. With just 45,170 miles on the clock, this example presents as a well-preserved luxury coupe that still delivers the smooth, refined driving character the XK nameplate is known for. Its elegant proportions, long hood, and unmistakable Jaguar presence make it an ideal choice for someone seeking a stylish V8-powered grand tourer that balances comfort and performance.
If you’re searching for a classic Jaaaag, this 1994 Jaguar XJS Convertible from Warrenton, Virginia is a fine choice for many reasons. First off, the XJS is one of Jaguar’s finest and best Greatest Hits from their back catalogue. It’s a grand tourer with timeless style, and the choice of a snarling V12 or frugal but still nippy straight six under the hood. Plus, since this 70,000-mile Flamenco Red example is a later-model car, it’s got a bit more niceties on the inside, as well as being a proper factory convertible. Did you know that earlier in the XJS’s life, convertibles were actually made from coupes by an aftermarket outfit, under contract from Jaguar? However, after 1988, Jaguar started making them in-house. That, and many more reasons, including the very near classic status, are all compelling cases to buy this car.
British luxury automaker Jaguar’s top-tier offering in the sedan space was their iconic XJ model. Made from 1968 to 2019, the XJ maintained a rather similar design ethos for much of its life. This meant that even models from the Nineties, although thoroughly modernized, didn’t look too far removed from their forefathers. All this changed in 2010, with the X351 generation. This era saw everything about the XJ given a full rebirth, from the styling to the mechanicals and everything else too. Suddenly, the XJ had shed its “old person” looks and started attracting new demographics as well. So, if you’re shopping for a pre-owned luxury car, this 2012 Jaguar XJ from Texas is a great choice. With its sumptuous interior, snarling V8 and just under 14,000 miles done, it’s a veritable bargain. The current owner says that the owner’s manual and two keys are included with the sale.
Classic Jaguars are known as the gentleman's way of getting about; it's the four-wheeled version of a suit and tie that acts dignified and leaves an impression. A deep dive into the world of classic Jaguars and you sure are spoiled for choice, you have the E-Type that stole Enzo Ferrari's heart, you also have the XJ220 that gave the world what true British performance was like back in the 90s. While all these examples are a treat to look at and be behind the wheel of, they lack one thing: the feel of being a grand tourer. Let's cut out the deep search into your next classic and give you one of Britain's finest, it's this lovely 1989 Jaguar XJS with just 82,623 reported miles run in.
Do you desire a German sporting machine with true petrolhead credentials, but one that also comes with four doors, five seats, and an SUV/crossover body style?

Performance that is subtle is the right type of smiles per gallon. When you are loud and brash, one does expect the performance to back it all up, but if you choose to fly under the radar and still sting when heavy on the gas pedal, smiles per gallon quickly ensue. The S Class has been this silent warrior of performance; it doesn't stop there, as it is also the golden standard of Mercedes luxury as well. Present today is a fine example from the S class family and takes shape with this 2017 Mercedes-Benz S550. With a reported 65,000 miles on its clock, this clean example hails from Canyon Lake, is reported to come with two keys, Texas, and is ready to be the perfect way of getting about in luxury, style and performance.
A sure-fire future classic, this 2007 Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT Duoselect is a soulful Italian sports sedan with a naturally-aspirated V8 that could be yours if you act fast. This is an example with extremely low mileage, a single-owner car that’s been garage-kept. It’s reportedly had no accidents and is said to be in excellent condition. Coming from the M139 or Quattroporte V era, this reportedly 14,816-mile car rocks a lovely Bord Pont exterior, a beige interior, and an engine that can scream up to 7,000rpm!
