- In this video I get my first look at the XK8 and give you my initial impressions. Can you tell that I hated it at first...?
Jaguar XK8 3.2 V8 Coupe
Part 1
My first impressions on the car and a night drive. I also broke it, meaning we needed…

Explaining the common top hose problem which caused the car to loose coolant, and how I fixed it. Or at least I thought I had…

Part 4
Taking the car to JH Cars so they can give it a once over and check my handiwork. They weren’t impressed with my fix… Featuring a Triumph TR7, William Hunt’s Mercedes-Benz CL500 (briefly) and a Ford Granada 4x4.

Part 5
We parked the Jag up at the school summer fete, and it proved quite a hit. Until we locked all the stuff in the boot. Plus there’s the cheeky bonus of Geoff’s ‘I will pay you a fiver if you can smash my phone screen’ challenge which totally backfired - pun intended.

Just bought my second xk8. Had hot hatch a plenty, boxster, e46 M3, nothing makes you feel as special as this old jag. This one has the 20" BBS wheels. Sport trim inside is black on top and my preference. 155 mph is top speed 👌
Go steady with my new car Geoff!
Amazing car! I think they were limited to 155mph. My XJR certainly was lol, you should have a go with a supercharged one. With the cost of fuel and 15ish mpg they'll be going for buttons now! The joke is they'll pass anything but a petrol station. They feel like they're trying to headbutt the horizon lol
You're right, i'll be doing a video soon on how road tax and fuel economy is going to kill off a whole heap of cars
Love your videos and you're explaining 😂please keep doing your fantastic videos❤️❤️
Literally came to see an 850 comparison and i wasnt disappointed 😅
It's just the most beautiful car I've ever seen! 😍 probably not a gold one with those wheels on it but the last of that model, say an 05 plate with the mesh front and 20 inch wheels
Wrong. The later cars are LESS attractive. They have heavier/bulkier looking bumpers, side skirts- which delete the E-Type like curved sills, and 20 inch wheels *RUIN* the ride quality. 18 inch is the best compromise for ride/handling/roadholding. Everybody I know with 20 inch rims says the ride is harsh- which negates the purpose of the car as a luxury GT. The earlier XK8's have cleaner lines......
Brilliant !!
Fully enjoyed :)
@7.40, Geoff plays fuel light roulette by sailing straight past the petrol station. I could hear the fuel gauge dropping during this video.
Those mag wheels look a lot like American Racing Torque Thrusts, I actually like them for that very reason.
The exciting acceleration comes with the XKR 4.2 which is supercharged, then you really need to hang on. The XKR is electronically limited to 155mph.
Yes I'd very much like to try an XKR!
Geoffs feline based automotive analogy ramblings. With pudding!
Good stuff. 6900 RPMs feels better in the 4.0 than the 4.2 or the supercharged editions IMO. Enjoy! 🏴☠️🏁
good point about RPM!
I think you're in love with Jaguars?
Which would you choose
Very nice car. My only critique is the rear bumper seems out of place. Jaguar should have designed it better.
It was said that the management required the boot to take 2 sets of golf clubs. Hence the ungainly rear. Inexcusable in a Jag!
Your happy melting face at kick down; hilarious. 🫠🫠🫠😂
