Jaguar XK (1999)
Jaguar XK8 Coupé (1999)
The Jaguar XK8 4.0 Coupé is the essence of a classic British grand tourer – elegant, refined, with a characterful V8 under the hood and bodywork that still turns heads. Designed by Geoff Lawson, this model was a worthy successor to the iconic E-Type, combining luxury with late-90s-era engineering and modernity. The Coupé version offers a stiffer chassis, clean GT proportions, and a timeless silhouette – ideal for purists who appreciate classic style with performance to match.
Under the bonnet lies a naturally aspirated 4.0-litre V8 engine producing 284 hp, paired with a smooth 5-speed automatic transmission. The car delivers linear acceleration and that unmistakable Jaguar grace on the road. It’s built for long-distance touring just as much as for quiet weekend drives – always delivering a unique acoustic presence and grand touring comfort in equal measure.
This particular example was first registered in 1999 and was imported directly from Belgium, where it had just one previous owner. Since arriving in Poland in early 2024, it has undergone a comprehensive restoration and full mechanical servicing, bringing it to excellent condition both technically and visually. The only recorded damage is a minor parking dent on the right rear quarter panel, with no structural impact – the only issue confirmed throughout its history.
The underside is in exceptionally clean condition, free from rust or corrosion – a rare find given the car’s age. A complete service was carried out by the renowned Altamira workshop, including the following work:
