1997 Jaguar XK Grand Tourer

 

This is my Jaguar XK. I bought it from a Jaguar dealership in Florida. This car was actually owned by a NFL Dolphins player. I am the second owner. This car has slight modifications from the regular XK8, which in all reality it is. It has different seats (shape and piping) direct from Coventry UK factory. The color is also different from the regular Jaguar burgundy. The color is Mica Red (which is slightly different). The exterior also has some minor differences as far as emblems, less body moldings, no antenna, painted front bumper covers. The car also came with (2) sets of wheels (the originals, and aftermarket 20" racing rims with Pirelli tires). I recently had the suspension redone with new shocks and springs to adjust the ride height. I have also updated the radio with an in-dash NAV unit which flips out. This car still has 59K miles on it. Thanks for looking.
