Forgot trunk opening 4th method. Insert key into partially hidden key hole in the XK8 badge at the back. I just bought an 03 XKR and am loving it!
Exactly right! Talk about redundancy! I can't think of any other car offering 4 different ways to open the trunk!
Ravishing vehicle, we bought a Salsa Red Jag from Valentin 2 years ago and still loving it! Awesome ride from great group of people! :)
Thank you for your kind words. I do remember that gorgeous Salsa Red Jag! I am glad to hear you are still loving the car!
I'm still missing my XKR 2002 MY and I sold it 11 years ago. Beautiful car.
They are such unique cars. I wish I had a dime for every customer I hear saying what you just said. Stop missing it, and visit our website www.valeurosport.com to purchase your next XK8/XKR !

I just bought (20 days ago) my cat XK8 convertible 2000, British Racing green, inside beige + wheels BBS Perseus 20" (they were for the last special edition) + original wheels. I totally feel in love. Still possilbe to ride it under the sun, even though it is becoming coooler and cooler. My son 5 y.o. became an immediate enthusiast "Jaguarista". I will never sell it. Wondering if to buy a XK to make a sort of collection/history
Very nice! These XK8 will never get old!
I bought a '97 this past March w/81K miles at a really good price. The tensioners already changed with the chain guide blades. Already has the 6 CD changer and tape deck. Topaz metallic with beige interior convertible top also tan. Love the overall drive and feel of it's responsiveness, etc.
They are great cars! May I suggest upgrading it to a newer (post 2003) year model? Up to the 2002 ym Jaguar used Nikasil cylinder lining which are known to fail, depending on the sulfur content of the gasoline that was used. They also used plastic timing tensioners that were later replaced with metal tensioners starting with the 4.2L engine in the 2003 ym. The plastic timing tensioners are also known to fail and cause major engine issues. Although you can replace the plastic tensioners with metal ones, there is still the Nikasil cylinder lining issue remaining...
@@ValEuroSport I recently had a mechanic look into it, and replace several engine coolant hoses, the water pump, several connections, the overflow reservoir behind the tire well, checked the timing chain tensioners and found they'll already been upgraded/replaced. The ABS sensor is faulty, but the brakes are perfectly fine. He also topped off the oil, replaced the engine coolant, etc. Between getting it to the shop, looking the car over, ordering the parts, replacing everything, the weekend following with a Sunday closure it took a total of 4 days turn around, and came to a grand total of $1010.00 after all was said and done. I wouldn't generally consider a year model in which Ford may have been highly involved in the manufacturing process though. As I understand it the number of parts ford related in these earlier year models was roughly 2 and those weren't of any significance in it's operability. A bolt for the oil pan, and some other minor piece as I recall. On the nikasil lining, I was initially concerned about that, but after looking into it I found a source or three who suggested it was a problem earlier on, but with the current quality and additives permeating the fuel market currently it shouldn't be a major concern any longer. I'm still looking into different aspects as they come to mind, but that's what I've found so far at least.
Never been much of a convertible enthusiast (hair issues with my better half...), yet this is a gorgeous vehicle! Besides, there’s always the knowledge that you’re buying from a great guy. I think I’m going to miss my wife...
Thank you Tirso, it's very kind of you! You live in the right climate for a convertible, so give us a try ;-)
Valentin Cristea Hi Valentin, Good to hear from you. However, as I may have mentioned, our plans are to move to Nice as soon as circumstances here allow (kids leave the nest, which should be sooner rather than later as they’re well on their way with their college studies) and although this car would also work well for the weather there, we’re better off buying one there than paying for transportation from here...
Have a 00 for over 20 years love it ...
You should never sell your Jag. Otherwise you will join the legions of buyers who are looking to buy a Jag like the one they had, once they realize how special this car is.
What a great car.
And it looks like a very good investment too.
These Jag X100 cars are the personification of the maxim "have your cake and eat it too". Not only it is a pleasure to own this car, and make lifelong memories with it, you won't take a hit if you ever have the misfortune to have to sell it. I have been selling these cars at about the same price for the last dozen years. Depreciation is nonexistent, if you can keep the mileage low!
I do happen to have an incoming 2006 Jaguar XK8 in the same color combination: Onyx White on Cashmere with only 56k miles. Let me know if you are interested. Follow us on instagram @valeurosport, facebook (VALEUROSPORT), and check our inventory at www.valeurosport.com.
@@ValEuroSport Thx, saving for now and having a second contender, Porsche Panamera 4WD version.
Any suggestions to make me go the Jag route ?
I believe the design for that car was initially meant to be applied to the new Aston Martin of the time, but was eventually dedicated to the Jag. It’s such a timeless, beautiful design.
That would not surprise me. They do share the parts bin as well!
no in fact a jaguar project x81 in the eighties was reclaimed by aston martin (ford bought aston and jaguar in late 80’s early 90’s and ended up being the db7. faced with the success of the aston db7 ford decided to get an alternative for jaguar the xk8. xk8 and db7 both based ont jag xjs
i meant xj41 jaguar project (not xj81)
Seats are so good because they are designed by Lear Jet Corporation. I have a 99 xkr convertible in metallic black. People want to talk to me about it all the time and don't believe its over 20 years old. I bought a wind deflector in the the correct color code and it works magnificently. I'll never sell this car. They can bury me in it .Sensationally fast, smooth and luxurious. The perfect demo of "iron fist in a velvet glove".
Thank you for the insight, i really enjoyed! That explains why these seats are the most comfortable I have ever encountered. I totally agree with the XKR qualities you listed.
Someone watched Iain Tyrell recently, huh? :D
Superb car. Got one. Interesting how classic car owners praise their color combo: it's *the best* it's *very rare* it's very desirable*. Guy, it's the color combo you like (obviously). Car videos are no therapies. I go for deep drak blue over beige. My thing.
Bonjour Yves. I have just posted another Jaguar XK8 in the same exact color combination on my website. 2006 Onyx on Cashmere with 56k miles. I simply adore these cars! And yes, Pacific Blue over Ivory are definitely my favorite too. The trouble is they didn't make enough of them to go around. It must have been a couple of years since I last had one...
No comparison with the newer models?
A great video of a great car! Brilliant production values on the video, too. Many thanks from the U.K.!
Thank you Nick! These XK8s and XKRs are my passion! Thank you my English friends for giving the world this car!
@@ValEuroSport Unfortunately, I can’t take any credit for that! Strangely, they have only just begun to be loved here in the U.K. which is weird because I believe the shape has aged SO much more gracefully than the Aston Martin DB7, which are still star ship money. Markets are strange things Valentin! Looking forward to your next excellent video! Cheers Nick
Beautiful car. Unfortunately, due to your recommendation I’ll have to chose another vehicle with an ideal trunk. Just kidding!
You got me there! It's a cruiser car with loads of character!
Hello are you interested in a 2003 Jaguar XK8 near mint with 44000 miles?
Sorry I only saw your message now.
@@ValEuroSport no problem
Shame about the non standard drug dealer tints
It does help in a hot climate though
Gweat video
Thank you for the kind words! We are having a lot of fun doing these videos. Can you tell ? We will have an awesome video coming up! Comparison between a black 2006 Aston Martin DB9 Volante convertible (6sp MANUAL!) vs a Rosso Trionfale 2013 Maserati GranCabrio convertible. Please share my videos so we can increase viewership of this channel!
XK8 Elec Headrests are easily fixed. See vid th-cam.com/video/3zRh1MOa4WI/w-d-xo.html
With all the Jags XK8/XKR I have coming in, I would have to hire someone to fix these headrests 40hrs a week, LOL. They all have this issue. It doesn't bother me, since the headrests are doing their job of protecting the occupant from whiplash, even at their lowest setting.
