Jaguar XK 8, 1997 г.в.

Good morning,I'm selling a beautiful Jaguar XK8 with the original Arden styling package (Jaguar's in-house tuner, like Brabus for Mercedes and Alpina for BMW: https://www.arden.de/veredelung/jaguar/xk/xk8-xkr-1996-2005/ ). The car was manufactured in 1997 and imported to Poland from Germany in 2005. I have the German registration document from that time. It's a stunning 4-seater convertible with a velvet V8 engine.This is the only XK8 currently available for sale in Europe with the full Arden package (front bumper, side skirts, rear bumper, exhaust tips). It also has the XKR's front grille and hood.Add to this the deep cherry red paint and beige upholstery, you get a beautiful and unique configuration.The car is regularly serviced; I've owned it for three years. During my tenure, I performed the following (last service for 1500 Euro, I have invoices):- ECU reconditioning- Throttle body replacement with gaskets- Spark plug replacement and all ignition coils- Automatic transmission selector replacement- Crankcase breather replacement- Engine seals replacement- Paint refreshThe previous owner rebuilt the gearbox, replaced the timing chain, replaced the shock absorbers and suspension components.The car has valid insurance until December 2026, and an inspection until April 2027.The car's exterior and visual condition are as shown in the photos. There is no rust, the sills, floor pan, and rear fenders are in perfect condition. The car has never been used in winter or in the rain. The wheel arches are clean, as is the undercarriage. There are no engine leaks, both top and bottom. The interior is adequate for 30 years of use, it has not been renovated, everything works, the leather is still soft and pleasant, the wood is also in good condition. I've attached a video of the car's exterior: https://youtu.be/MRcMoYleCq8 and a video of it starting from cold, operation of the roof, and driving: https://youtu.be/ylZY_Xm6bvEEquipment:- Automatic transmission with J-Gate- Extended leather package (Classic variant)- Harman/Kardon sound system- Electric seats- Electric steering wheel- Automatic air conditioning- Radio with cassette and CD changer- Traction control- Wooden multi-function steering wheel- Headlight washers- Cruise control- Classic 17" Jaguar rims with summer tiresetc.As for accessories, I have a factory set of floor mats, the original windshield, and a car cover.Overall, the car runs, drives, and is a lot of fun, but why does it cost 7000 and not 20000?:- Sometimes it displays errors that aren't actually present (low brake fluid level, even though the level is correct, traction control, gearbox). After checking, the service center determined there must be a problem with the wiring, a sensor, or a new battery is needed (which I think is good; the car starts without problems), although it doesn't interfere with driving, so I didn't pursue the matter any further.- The electric antenna is disconnected; it sometimes froze. I use the CD changer and AUX port with a cassette.- The interior isn't perfect, although it's still nice and pleasant.- The tires have good tread, but they're getting old. I drove the car 100-150 km a year, hence the lack of interest.- And it's simply almost 30 years old...I think the price is very attractive, especially since the Arden package alone is more than half the asking price. I'm selling it because I'm moving; I won't have as many garage spaces anymore...A beautiful youngtimer for Sundays. If you don't mind the English electronics, you don't have to do anything to it :)The Jag is available for viewing near Poznań. Please contact me if you have any additional questions call me or write on WhatsApp for more photos etc.Best regards!
