The first owner kept this XK8 for only 9 months before trading into Marshalls Jaguar of Cambridge. The vendor bought the XK8 in April 2002 from Marshalls, trading in his XJS Coupe against it, and has treasured the XK8 for over 17 years since then, covering only 52,000 miles, less than 3,000 miles a year on average, powered effortlessly by the 4.0-litre V8 engine. It is currently MOT'd to February 2020 and is finished in silver with a black soft top. Internally the 2+2 seats are in black leather with a dark grey walnut dashboard and other trims. The only reason for its sale is lack of space. Offered with aforementioned service history and V5C registration document.
