I can tell you from decades of experience with cars this is a very solid, strong runner and simply a delightful Jaguar XJ8 to drive. It is flat out gorgeous both inside and outside, it was garage kept and just lovely, as if you have just stepped into a time machine. It’s very hard to find a low mileage vintage Jaguar like this.

The very rare black, along with the black interior, really sets it apart from all the other Jaguars of this vintage. To top it all off, it comes loaded from the factory with AC, crystal clear factory headlights, five matching factory Jaguar aluminum wheels with good tires, and a very smooth Jaguar 5-speed automatic transmission. The engine is very strong, does not smoke, nor does it leak or burn oil, also pulls smoothly as expected in all gears, and will easily cruise along at speed well above our highway speed limits. This car has has been garage kept. It is a very well cared for vintage Jaguar that is being sold AS-IS due to its age. I have the clear/clean title in hand. In addition to describing it as accurately as possible, I have taken many high resolution pictures at many angles and lighting conditions, please make sure to look at them all carefully:

Exterior:
The exterior looks absolutely beautiful. The paint is wonderful and shiny. The body condition is virtually flawless with perfect door and hood gaps and is arrow straight down the sides with no signs of previous damage. The car is beautiful and doesn't need reconditioning. The front hood, rear boot lid and the rest of the paint are in excellent condition with minor imperfections as expected. Interior:
The interior is in excellent condition, including the stitching which hold nicely. The dash is outstandingly great condition with there is zero discoloration or cracking or warping. The seats are nearly perfect as well. The front and rear seats, door panels, carpeting, and headliner are all in excellent condition. Radio is the original, which is yet another good sign that this car is a well preserved original example since the radio wasn't updated. Mechanicals:
Runs and drives very well! Shifts flawlessly and runs well because it has been properly maintained and pampered through the years. It has been gone through and to the best of the mechanic’s knowledge of what is knowable by a Jaguar specialist accustomed to these cars, this car needs nothing to make it a better mechanically or more reliable. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it cross country tomorrow. It simply fires up perfectly every time and never misses a beat. Just a really fun and reliable car experience while getting thumbs up along the way! By the way, lights, blinkers, horn work. Everything works. Payment:
