2001 Jaguar XK8 4.0 V8 Convertible (X100)
A beautifully presented example of Jaguar’s iconic first-generation X100 XK8, powered by the naturally aspirated 4.0-litre V8 and paired with a smooth-shifting 5-speed automatic transmission.
Produced in January 2001, this XK8 benefits from the later-generation steel cylinder liners rather than the earlier Nikasil-lined cylinders. As a further precaution, the original plastic cam-chain tensioners have recently been upgraded to metal units, addressing one of the known areas of concern with these engines.
This XK8 has been exceptionally well cared for. Its previous owner enjoyed the car for an impressive 22 years, keeping it garaged and predominantly driving it in good weather. With just 65,000 km, it also comes with an outstanding service history, including maintenance carried out by Jaguar main dealers and respected Jaguar specialists.
The car has clearly been cherished throughout its life and presents in beautiful condition. It is remarkably free of rust and avoids many of the corrosion issues sometimes associated with Jaguars that have spent their years in the UK.
The elegant silver paintwork presents exceptionally well for its age, while the fully automatic soft top is in magnificent condition. The 18-inch Jaguar alloy wheels are unmarked, and the Continental tyres are recent.
Under the bonnet, the low-kilometre 4.0-litre V8 starts and runs beautifully, delivering the refined and effortless performance for which Jaguar is renowned. The 5-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly and complements the relaxed character of the car perfectly.
Inside, the combination of leather upholstery and traditional Jaguar timber trim remains in excellent condition. The suspension has also been fully serviced, providing the comfortable, composed ride expected of a Jaguar grand tourer.

1999 Mercedes-Benz SL320 V6 R129 — Final Edition
This is the final update of the iconic R129 SL320, featuring Mercedes-Benz’s modern and renowned V6 engine paired with a smooth 5-speed automatic transmission.
This beautiful SL320 has enjoyed a sheltered life and has been exceptionally well cared for. It presents superbly inside, outside and underneath, and with just over 100,000 kilometres, it is remarkably close to its original condition.
A highly specified UK-market example, this SL320 features the desirable fold-down rear seats with three-point seat belts, Xenon headlights, electrically adjustable heated memory seats, and an elegant half-timbered leather steering wheel with matching timber gear selector.
Adding to its appeal is the rare and highly desirable glass-roof hardtop, complete with a retractable sun-protection screen — a particularly sought-after feature on the R129.
Finished in brilliant silver with a grey leather interior and dark timber trim, the car has a timeless and sophisticated appearance.
The original 17-inch Mercedes-Benz alloy wheels are unmarked and are fitted with recently installed Continental tyres. The Mohair soft top is in excellent condition and benefits from new PVC rear windows.
The car is accompanied by a wind deflector and dedicated hardtop stand, making it exceptionally well equipped for both touring and open-top driving.
A full service history, original service booklet and complete owner's manuals further complement this outstanding example.

2001 Morgan 4/4 Lowline, Longdoor
Only 20,000 miles (32,000 km) from new
This exceptionally well-presented 2001 Morgan 4/4 Lowline is a particularly rare and desirable example, combining classic Morgan character with a number of high-quality upgrades that make it considerably more enjoyable and practical to drive.
The Lowline is a special model, built on the wider Plus 8 chassis and distinguished by its wider wings and wheels compared with the standard 4/4. This example is finished in Royal Ivory, a beautiful creamy white, complemented by a rare Yarwood Biscuit leather interior, piped in cream. Green carpets with cream edging provide a particularly attractive contrast.
The cabin is beautifully appointed, featuring a burr walnut dashboard and instrument panels set against cream leather, reclining and folding seats, and a choice of two steering wheels: the bespoke Simmonds leather-spoked wheel in Biscuit leather, or a Moto-Lita wood-rim steering wheel.
A modern Pioneer audio system provides USB connectivity, Bluetooth and hands-free phone functionality, discreetly bringing modern convenience to this thoroughly traditional sports car.
Engine & Driving
Power comes from the original 1.8-litre twin-cam Ford Zetec engine, producing approximately 111 bhp and 150 Nm of torque, coupled to a smooth five-speed Ford manual gearbox.
The combination is superbly suited to the Morgan. The Zetec engine is punchy and responsive, while the car's light weight and nimble handling make every drive an enjoyable experience. It is equally at home being enjoyed on a winding country road or simply cruising on a sunny afternoon.
One particularly worthwhile upgrade is the power steering, which makes a remarkable difference to low-speed manoeuvring and everyday drivability without taking away from the character of the car.
A Carefully Upgraded Morgan
This Morgan had the benefit of a long-term, dedicated owner who drove it sparingly and invested in a number of thoughtful, high-quality improvements.
Among the upgrades is a Simmonds mohair "Easy-Up" hood, which is beautifully made, watertight, draft-free and designed for a snug fit. It is accompanied by a matching Simmonds mohair tonneau cover and Biscuit leather hood envelope.
The suspension has also been upgraded with front roller bearings and adjustable shock absorbers all round, enhancing both ride quality and handling. An aluminium radiator has been fitted, providing an important practical improvement for warmer conditions.
Externally, the car has a particularly purposeful appearance thanks to its extensive stainless-steel detailing, including the mesh grille, full-width bumpers, door-mounted round mirrors, badge bar, luggage rack and front spot lamps.
The combination of the wider Lowline body, chrome wire wheels, stainless-steel detailing and classic Morgan proportions gives this car an unmistakable presence.
Recent Preparation
The car has recently undergone a full service, including the fitting of a new cambelt.
It is also fitted with five new Yokohama tyres, size 195/60 R15.
There is an extensive service history, together with a substantial file of supporting documentation.

In Summary
This is not simply a low-mileage Morgan 4/4. It is an unusually well-specified Lowline that has been carefully maintained and thoughtfully upgraded by an enthusiast owner.
When I first came across this Morgan, I immediately appreciated just how special it was. Once behind the wheel, that feeling only grew. The combination of the lively Zetec engine, nimble handling, upgraded suspension and power steering makes it an absolute joy to drive, while the Simmonds hood, beautifully appointed interior and extensive detailing make it equally appealing when standing still.
The quality of the upgrades elevates this Morgan well beyond a standard example, while retaining everything that makes a Morgan so charismatic and enjoyable.
A rare specification, exceptionally low mileage, extensive history and a superb combination of classic style and thoughtful upgrades make this a very special Morgan 4/4 Lowline.

This is a 2001 Jaguar XK8 - I looked at many and walked away. I have done a lot of miles up and down the United Kingdom to look at a quite number of these magnificent cars. But beware, they have hidden flaws. Some are quite reasonably priced - but then.... I nearly gave up until I nearly fell over this one. Only 38,000 miles and its last owner for 22 years. An impeccable history, technically perfect and the most important part, no rust! The workshop inspection gave it a clean bill of health. More when it has arrived in Australia.
