As always, many of our photos of this Jaguar XK8 were taken at the Love Field Frontiers of Flight Museum in Dallas, Texas. We encouraged you to visit our friends at the Flight Museum if you find yourself in Dallas, Texas.
This Jaguar features the unique factory color of Amaranth Mica metallic, the perfect compliment to the Oatmeal color leather interior.
The power convertible top is clean and detailed, in excellent condition throughout.
Open the doors to luxury and performance. The interior is original & in good condition.
The cup holder will not stay retracted. This will need attention if so desired.
The instruments and controls are all working throughout. The air conditioning works as does the heat. The factory stereo works and is paired with the 5-disc trunk-mounted CD changer.
The leather upholstery is in good condition for the driver & passenger. There are a few spots on the driver's seat, but other than that the seats are in very good condition.
Under the hood is the smooth running original 4.0 Liter V8 engine. This car has excellent power and driving characteristics. Further inspection of the engine compartment will reveal stock components throughout, clean and maintained.
The undercarriage is original and indicative of a dry climate kept & garage kept example.
The trunk is clean and detailed, original with the spare tire/wheel (full size alloy) & 5-Disc CD Changer.
This classic stance & design is clearly inspired by the classic XKE Jaguar. The wheels of choice are the original coated alloys wrapped in 245/50ZR17 Michelin radial tires all around.

Green may have been a popular color choice for the classic Jaguar E-Type, but even in Lightweight form (pictured above), it was hardly what you'd call environmentally friendly. Not by today's standards, anyway, with six-, eight- and twelve-cylinder engines displacing between 3.8 and 5.3 liters. But Jaguar looks to be preparing to revive the nameplate - or at least one similar - with a new electric vehicle in the works. According to the latest intel, Jaguar has applied both in the US and in Europe to trademark the name EV-Type. The implication that it's developing an electric vehicle is clear, as is the reference to its iconic sports car of yore. But more than that, we don't know. We could be looking at an electric version of the current F-Type, a project to convert original E-Types to electric power or a different model altogether. It wouldn't be the first time, of course, that we'd see Jaguar toying with the idea of electric propulsion. A couple of years ago, the British automaker demonstrated a plug-in hybrid XJ_e prototype, and showcased both the C-X16 and C-X75 concepts with advanced hybrid powertrains. But it has yet to put any such system into production, relying instead on the small diesels it sells in Europe to keep its carbon footprint small.
Why Ask Questions When You Already Know The Answer? "Is it fast?" We get that question a lot. Several times a month, in fact, and it comes from every corner of our lives - friends, family, complete strangers and even colleagues from time to time. And it's an understandable query. After all, speed, either in a straight line or around a twisty bit of tarmac, is a universally accepted line of demarcation between the typical family sedan and something much more fun and therefore desirable.
The Jaguar Project 7 Concept debuted at the Goodwood Festival of Speed just last month. But unlike most concepts, which serve only to collect fingerprints on a stage, the track-ready one-seater spent its days barreling past the hillclimb crowds with Mike Cross, chief engineer of vehicle integrity at Jaguar, beaming behind its right-hand-drive steering wheel. What's more, the powers that be at Jaguar even let yours truly drive the Project 7 during the Concurs d'Elegance festivities at Pebble Beach last week. Built on an all-aluminum V8 F-Type chassis with modified suspension, the Project 7 (a name acknowledging Jaguar's seven Le Mans wins between 1951-1990) is best thought of as an F-Type masquerading as a D-Type. The two-door is fitted with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 good for 550 horsepower (no pictures as Jaguar wouldn't allow us to open the hood). An eight-speed automatic, with a torque converter, sends the power the rear wheels, allowing the single-seat roadster to crack the 60-mph benchmark in just over four seconds. Modifications to the bodywork include a new lowered windshield, carbon-fiber aerodynamics and a rear fairing with integrated rollover hoop. The driving position has also been lowered by more than an inch, allowing the sole occupant to not only escape the airflow, but take advantage of a lower center of gravity.
