Jaguar XK (2003)
Jaguar XK8 Convertible (2003)
The Jaguar XK8 4.2 Convertible is a classic British grand tourer that combines timeless elegance with relaxed open-top motoring and dynamic V8 performance. As a successor to the iconic XJS, the XK8 carries forward Jaguar’s long-standing GT tradition, featuring a flowing silhouette designed by Geoff Lawson, a richly finished interior, and refined, powerful driving characteristics. Under the bonnet sits a 4.2-litre V8 engine producing 298 hp, paired with a smooth 6-speed ZF automatic transmission – the perfect setup for effortless cruising and confident acceleration.
This particular example was manufactured in 2003 and stands out with its rare and refined Topaz Metallic exterior, beautifully complemented by a Cashmere leather interior with real walnut wood trim. Originally imported from the United States, the vehicle previously sustained minor damage to the front right corner, which has been professionally repaired. A full set of pre-repair photographs is available upon request.
The car is in very good mechanical and cosmetic condition. Recently it underwent a comprehensive mechanical service at the well-regarded Altamira workshop, which included an extensive list of maintenance and repair work:
