This 1997 Jaguar XK8 Coupé is a running and driving project car, imported from New York, USA. It has covered 117.516 miles and is finished in its original colour combination of Sapphire Blue with an Ivory leather interior.
The car starts, runs and drives. The engine has good oil pressure, clean engine oil and sounds mechanically healthy. There is, however, an audible noise which may come from a belt, pulley or related auxiliary component. The maintenance history is unknown, so the car should be fully checked and serviced before regular use.
The bodywork is a clear improvement area. The paint is weathered and a full respray would be the best way to bring the car back to a presentable standard. There are several smaller dents, as well as localised rust damage above the rear bumper, directly behind the rear wheel arch. The rear sill edges near the wheel arches will also need welding attention.
The interior is complete but needs cosmetic attention. The leather on the driver’s seat shows clear signs of age and use. The headliner, however, is in good condition.
Several electrical and diagnostic issues are present. The check engine light is on, and the dashboard shows traction control fail and stability control fail messages. The driver’s side electric window does not work, while the passenger side window is working. The spare wheel is missing. The car comes with one key with remote control. No books or service records are present.
A running and driving early XK8 Coupé in an attractive original colour combination, offered as an affordable V8 Jaguar project with clear cosmetic and technical improvement points.
