This 1999 Jaguar XK8 convertible was purchased new by the seller at Charles Maund Jaguar of Austin, Texas, and is finished in Topaz Gold over Oatmeal leather. Powered comes from a 4.0-liter V8 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission, and additional equipment includes a power-retractable soft top, heated and power-adjustable front seats, automatic climate control, wood interior trim, and a trunk-mounted CD changer. Maintenance in 2020 is said to have included replacement of the steering rack, spark plugs, and battery.
The car is finished in Topaz Gold and features a tan convertible soft top with a heated glass window and an Oatmeal top boot. Other exterior details include a chrome grille, fog lights, a power antenna, and dual exhaust outlets. The front bumper and left rear quarter panel have been repainted according to the seller.
Chrome 17″ five-spoke wheels are mounted with Pirelli Cintaurato P7 245/50 tires at each corner. Four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes and stability control were equipped as standard. The seller states that the power steering rack and struts were replaced in January 2020.
The cabin features seating surfaces upholstered in Oatmeal leather along with a two-tone dashboard and door panels, Walnut wood veneer trim, and brown carpeting, and branded stainless steel door sill covers. Amenities include power-adjustable front seats, cruise control, automatic climate control, and a factory cassette stereo with a trunk-mounted six-disc CD changer.
A leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 170-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,750-rpm redline, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. An analog clock and additional gauges for oil pressure and voltage are located in the center of the dash. The digital odometer indicates 56k miles.
The 4.0-liter V8 features four valves per cylinder and was factory-rated at 290 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque. Maintenance since 2019 reportedly included replacement of the valve cover gaskets, front engine mounts, spark plugs, fuel pump, and battery.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a ZF five-speed automatic transmission. The seller notes corrosion on the exhaust system.
