The classic look of the Jaguar XK8 made its debut in coupe and convertible body styles. (The supercharged version followed in 2000 - the XKR) Its 290-hp 4.0-liter engine was Jaguar's first-ever V8 and only the fourth all-new engine in the company's remarkable history. With impressive performance specs (155 mph, 0-60 in 6 secs), precision handling, Connolly leather and walnut trim, the XK8 epitomized the modern British sports car. The history of this particular low mileage car includes cameo appearances in the production of USA Network's new legal drama series "Suits", starring Canadian-born actor Patrick J. Adams and Gabriel Macht, and also in the new HBO/Cinemax action drama "Transporter-The Series" starring Chris Vance and Andrea Osvart. This is one cool cat with many lives left and selling without reserve
