Union Flag tribute to the Austin Powers 'Shaguar' movie
Fun modern British motoring & always gains thumbs up & waves
The first generation of the X100 was the XK8 which replaced the XJS and was available as a coupé and convertible. It was the first eight cylinder vehicle produced since the Daimler 250. The XK8 came with 17" alloy wheels, leather interior, burr walnut trim and side airbags as standard. Austin Powers in Goldmember is a 2002 American spy action comedy film and the third instalment in the Austin Powers film series. It stars Mike Myers in the title role and was co-written by him and Michael McCullers. In a self-parody of the Austin Powers series, there is a film within the film in the opening. Austin Powers is featured in a bio-pic called Austinpussy (a parody of the James Bond film Octopussy) directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Cruise as Austin Powers, Gwyneth Paltrow as Dixie Normous, Kevin Spacey as Dr. Evil, Danny DeVito as Mini-Me, and John Travolta as Goldmember.
Originally registered on 29th May June 2001, this XK8 convertible has been wrapped in the Union Flag as a tribute to the Austin Powers 'Shaguar' from the 2002 movie, 'Austin Powers in Goldmember'. Owned by our vendor since 2016, he describes the car as smooth as a hot knife through butter, with ample power and as quiet as can be'. This car has seen many Jaguar and popular events and is oodles of fun and great at any patriotic event where it would be sure to always draw a crowd. The car is supplied with a V5C registration document, a valid MoT test certificate until May 2027 and accompanying this is a file of old MoT test certificates and invoices. These modern sports cars are available at a fraction of the original price and with this Jaguar XK8 being offered at no reserve, it could well prove to be a bargain and a fun car for the summer, with or without the wrap. The car has just been serviced, with recent brakes (disks) and benefits from being the 2001 face-lift model with the latest interior which is in lovely order.
