Product Description

Product Description

The Jaguar XK8 was launched to great acclaim in 1996 as the successor to the XJS, and the model range has been built on ever since. With styling cues taken from the E-type and the XJ220 supercar, and powered by a new 4.0-litre V8 engine, the XK8 found instant success on both sides of the Atlantic. Nearly 10 years after its launch, the styling remains virtually unchanged, which says a lot for the original concept. This fascinating, all-colour book is essential reading for all XK8 owners and enthusiasts.


About the Author

Nigel Thorley, who has owned an XJS, is a respected Jaguar historian, has written a number of books on various aspects of the marque, and was a founder member of the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club. He lives at Auckley, near Doncaster.

4.0 out of 5 stars An informed and enthusiastic introduction to the XK8, 25 Jan 2009
By A. Gwyer (Hampshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
You and Your Jaguar XK8: Buying, Enjoying, Maintaining, Modifying (You & Your)
To anyone thinking of buying a XK8, or intersted in it, I would recommend this book. I do own a 4.2 XK 8 Coupe and found the book a good general introduction to the car. It is economically written and there is more information and guidance than would appear at first sight. The illustrations are helpful in showing the development of the car over the years. It repays you returning to it again and again. As others have said, it is a wide ranging book dealing with design, launch, maintenance and the things of interest to owners or prospective owners - therefore people wanting the detail of a workshop manual will be disappointed. For most of us, however, it is a useful starting point and a good read. It will help you appreciate the 'aesthetic' of the car, to identify standard and non-standard fitments, know its strengths and weaknesses, tread a careful path when visiting dealers to view vehicles and, once you have bought your car, make contact with specialist firms at which you can spend even more of your money (lots and lots of it) on enhancements.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Bother, 18 Sep 2008
By Ian Gray "ky11116" (London UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A few pretty pictures and some stuff about how the design process went.
Almost nothing about Buying enjoying maintaining or modifying XK8s.
A book for people who don't own (and have no intention of buying) an XK8.
Wish I hadn't bought this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book., 29 Jun 2009

You and Your Jaguar XK8: Buying, Enjoying, Maintaining, Modifying (You & Your)

Fantastic book if you are thinking of buying one of these cars. Gives good clear information about what to look for and what to avoid and could save you a load of money. Also facinating background into the development and the marque.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as bad as that
True it's a bit lightweight and I don't think I'll be referring back to it all that often but next to the other books I've found on the subject it's great. Read more
