Overview of 1998 Jaguar XK 8 For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1998 Jaguar XK8 Coupe is finished in Black, a color that highlights the car’s sweeping body lines, oval grille, and signature twin-oval headlamp design. The coupe silhouette is especially clean, with frameless door glass and subtle chrome accents reinforcing its refined British character. This example sits on aftermarket multi-spoke alloy wheels that give the car a slightly more contemporary stance while maintaining its upscale appeal. The overall look remains timeless and understated, staying true to Jaguar’s grand touring heritage. The interior of this 1998 Jaguar XK8 Coupe is Black leather, complemented by classic burl walnut wood trim across the dashboard, center console, and even the shift knob. The cabin reflects Jaguar’s traditional craftsmanship, combining leather and wood in a way that feels warm and inviting. Power-adjustable seats, automatic climate control, cruise control, and a factory AM/FM/CD/cassette audio system provide everyday usability. The wood and leather steering wheel further enhances the upscale atmosphere, creating a cockpit that is both sporty and sophisticated.

Engine

Powering this 1998 Jaguar XK8 Coupe is a 4.0L naturally aspirated AJ26 V8 producing approximately 290 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque. This engine was a significant milestone for Jaguar, replacing the long-running inline-six and bringing smoother, more modern V8 performance to the lineup. Paired with a ZF 5-speed automatic transmission, it delivers seamless shifts and relaxed highway cruising while still offering strong acceleration when called upon. This example features an aftermarket K&N performance cold air intake system, which improves airflow and adds a slightly more pronounced induction tone. With rear-wheel drive and a well-balanced chassis, the XK8 offers a composed and engaging grand touring experience that remains enjoyable decades after its debut.

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.
