Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1997 Jaguar XK8 Convertible with a 3980cc engine sold for £4,600, within its £4,000-£5,000 estimate. It comes with a current MOT until August 2026 and documentation, including a recent timing chain modification.
Condition
6
The listing indicates the car sold for £4,600 within its estimated range. While it has a current MOT until August 2026 and a folder full of previous MOTs and invoices, it is a 1997 model and the description mentions a known weakness in the engines (timing chains), although this car has had a modified kit fitted. This suggests some wear and tear expected for its age, but with a significant repair already addressed.
