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.
Exterior and Interior
Wearing a silver coat of paint, this 2003 Jaguar XK8 Coupe exudes timeless style with its swoopy design, matching silver alloy wheels and long, low stance. It’s got that effortless cruising persona even when standing still, and as you get closer, the iconic Jaguar mascot looks back at you via the hood mounted roundel, that also proclaims 4.2 LITRE – British spelling right there. The black interior of this 2003 Jaguar XK8 Coupe is a four-seat affair, but the rear seats are better suited for children or the more petite in stature. The seats are upholstered in soft leather, and there’s a healthy serving of wood trim on the dashboard and door inners. The car features an Alpine sound system, heated front seats, automatic climate control, air conditioning, a trip computer and cruise control as highlights. It’s got a CD player and even a cassette tape player as well!
Engine
In 2002, Jaguar upgraded the V8 for the XK range from the older 4.0-liter unit to a newer and more powerful 4.2-liter one. That’s what this 2003 Jaguar XK8 Coupe comes with. The engine can reportedly deliver up to 300hp and 310lb-ft to the rear wheels. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Plus, you’ve got Jaguar’s distinctive J-gate shift quadrant which offers you some manual shifting abilities too.
