Gateway Classic Cars of Chicago is proud to present this stunning, highly preserved 1999 Jaguar XK8 Convertible. Merging timeless British elegance with modern grand touring performance, this beautiful drop-top shows just 52,455 miles on the odometer. It represents an exceptional opportunity for enthusiasts looking for a low-mileage, exceptionally cared-for modern classic.
Finished in a sleek, sophisticated color palette, this XK8 captures the flowing, muscular lines inspired by the legendary E-Type. The power-retractable convertible top drops effortlessly, inviting you to enjoy open-air cruising at a moment's notice. Step inside the cabin, and you are greeted by an opulent, driver-focused cockpit swathed in premium leather seating and rich, genuine wood accents. Standard luxury amenities include air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, power locks, and a premium AM/FM radio audio system for the ultimate weekend getaway soundtrack.
Under the sculpted hood lies Jaguar's celebrated 4.0-liter AJ27 V8 engine, delivering a smooth and responsive ride. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a sophisticated ZF 5-speed automatic transmission, manageable through Jaguar's iconic "J-Gate" shifter layout, which offers effortless cruising or manual gear selection when the roads get twisty.
True to its grand touring heritage, this XK8 features a fully independent front and rear suspension system engineered to isolate the cabin from road imperfections while maintaining a confident, planted feel through tight corners.
This 1999 Jaguar XK8 doesn't sacrifice modern convenience for classic style. It comes fully equipped with a host of power assists and safety features, including four-wheel power disc brakes with advanced anti-lock (ABS) and yaw control, power steering for effortless low-speed maneuvering and crisp highway response, remote keyless entry, and an integrated factory alarm system. The vehicle also features symmetrical fog lamps and factory alloy wheels.
This vehicle can be seen in detail, including over 100 HD pictures and an HD video, at gatewayclassiccars.com. It is located at the Chicago Showroom, 1329 Commerce Drive, Crete, IL 60417.
