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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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.
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.
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!
The 2018 Jaguar XE 25t embodies Jaguar’s approach to the modern compact luxury sport sedan, combining elegant British styling with a driver-focused chassis and turbocharged performance. Showing 50,093 miles, this Narvik Black example offers all-wheel-drive confidence and a refined driving experience that’s equally suited for daily commuting or spirited backroad drives. With its premium appointments, responsive handling, and sophisticated design, the XE remains an appealing alternative to its German luxury sedan rivals.
Jaguar’s XJS spent more than two decades carrying the torch for the legendary E-Type, evolving into one of the most refined grand touring cars of its era. This 1991 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible shows 52,140 miles and represents one of the final years of the facelifted pre-AJR6 V12 models. Finished in elegant Signal Red over a Black interior, this British luxury convertible combines timeless styling, smooth V12 power, and open-air touring capability. With its long hood, pillarless design, and turbine-smooth twelve-cylinder engine, the XJS remains one of the most distinctive grand tourers produced by Jaguar. Today, well-preserved V12 convertibles are increasingly appreciated by collectors for their combination of exclusivity, craftsmanship, and classic British character.
The Jaguar XJ-S was tasked with following one of the most iconic sports cars ever built, the E-Type, and it accomplished that challenge by carving out its own identity as a refined high-speed grand tourer. This 1983 Jaguar XJS Coupe represents one of the finest surviving examples of the model, showing just 14,878 miles from one owner. Finished in elegant Grosvenor Brown over a Biscuit leather interior, this V12-powered Jaguar remains remarkably preserved and is accompanied by its original documentation, a set of OEM factory wheels, and the original factory dual-beam headlights. Combining low ownership, exceptionally low mileage, and a highly original presentation, this XJS offers collectors an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire one of Jaguar’s most sophisticated grand touring coupes from the 1980s.
