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 the prettiest cars in the world, the Jaguar E-Type was so breathtaking when it launched in 1961 that it reportedly was able to even captivate the heart of Enzo Ferrari!
