Vehicle Description
If refined elegance in a sporty drop-top package sounds like the
ideal car to add as the next car to your collection, then let us
introduce you to this 1999 Jaguar XK8 Convertible. Decked out in
its original Phoenix Red paint, this Jag has just 85,348 actual
miles on its odometer, meaning there is plenty of life left to
enjoy open-air driving in this grand tourer in the lap of
luxury.
Inside, we find an Ivory colored leather interior. A plush set of
power bucket seat keep both the driver and passenger comfortable on
even the longest of road trips. Beautiful woodgrain trim on the
center console, dashboard, and the four-spoke power-assisted
steering wheel offers a big splash of contrast. A big 170 mph
speedometer sits front and center of the driver, with a 7,000 rpm
tachometer and combination fuel/temperature gauge on either side of
it. A trio of auxiliary gauges, including an analog clock, sits
above the push-button HVAC controls and AM/FM/Cassette head unit
with remote CD changer mounted in the trunk.
Under the signature front-hinged hood, we find a big 4.0-liter,
32-valve, DOHC V-8 engine. When new, this motor was capable of
pumping out a healthy 290 horsepower at 6,100 rpm and matching 290
pound-feet of torque at 4,250 rpm. That power is routed through a
ZF five-speed automatic transmission before being sent to the rear
wheels, where a set of five-spoke alloy factory wheels featuring a
Jaguar emblem center cap, shod in 245/50ZR-17 Michelin Pilot Sport
A/S tires, awaits to put those ponies to the pavement. Despite
weighing nearly two tons, this Jaguar was capable of sprinting from
0 to 60 mph in less than seven seconds.

Developed as a true grand touring sports car, the 1999 Jaguar XK8
Convertible rides on a double-wishbone independent suspension at
both the front and rear, with the drop-top version receiving
structural reinforcements to maintain rigidity and handling at
near-coupe levels. Vented 12.1-inch rotors sit at all four corners,
providing plenty of braking power to allow this XK8 to be as much
fun around the twists and turns as it is on an empty on-ramp. If
you've been looking for a head-turning car that is fun,
comfortable, and luxuriously sporty, this is the car for you. Don't
wait, call today!
