Description:

Living up to expectations can be a burden. Consider the handsome Geoff Lawson-penned XK8 that followed in the wheeltracks of such automotive icons as the XK120 and immortal E-type. Like the latter, it made its debut at the Geneva Salon – that of 1996 – and from launch was available in either Coupe or Convertible guise. Power came from a normally aspirated 4.0-litre version of the company’s DOHC V8 AJ26 engine.

First registered in September 1999, this Automatic Coupe sports metallic blue bodywork teamed with a grey leather interior and ‘classic’ wooden dashboard and gearknob. Supplied new by Paramount of Stourport, this one owner example has only covered just 29,500 miles from new and is offered with original book pack, handbooks and replacement service book with 15 entries. Whilst the V5c document shows one former keeper, this was simply an address change for the one custodian – Mr. J. A Simpson in December 2005. The car is to be sold with a valid MOT certificate and offers a rare opportunity to become just the second custodian in twenty-three years.

Viewing by appointment only please.
