One man’s dream realised, a no expense spared restoration of his cherished XK8, with nearly £140,000 invested to return the car to 'as-new' condition. After 24 years of enjoyable ownership and almost 100,000 miles, our vendor had formed an extremely strong bond with his beloved XK8, when corrosion and general wear dictated the car to be beyond repair. The decision was taken to set about a total rebuild that included sourcing a brand new/old stock XK8 convertible bodyshell. The NOS bodyshell was expertly finished in British Racing Green along with bumpers and trim sections before careful reassembly by highly skilled technicians.
Works included a full mechanical overhaul, full retrim and a new hood. All components and parts were either professionally reconditioned or replaced, including control modules, exhaust system, sensors, engine auxiliary components and much more. The XK also benefited from improved sound proofing and a discreet stereo upgrade with Bluetooth connectivity, bespoke rear speaker boxes, upgraded speakers, amplifier and a new head unit installed by an audio specialist at over £5,000. We understand the investment totalled around £140,000 and as you can imagine, the invoice file is substantial.
The work was completed in early 2023 and since then the car has covered just over 6,500 miles (speedo zeroed after restoration) and is therefore nicely shaken down. This is an unrepeatable opportunity to take ownership of an XK8 truly lavished with time, money and expert attention.
