Hi, I am new to this group. Just checking if there would be any interest in my 2008 XFS V8 r supercharged. I have had it for 5years and had a lot of fun with it, but now retired so it's time to let it go. It has 160,000 on the clock but has full service history and has been maintained regardless of cost. Service every 10,000 miles. 

I am looking for around £6,000 for it. Thanks for reading.

Hi John, better to list your car for sale in the Marketplace section at the bottom of the Forum pages. One more post here and your car disappears off the front page and not many are going to look for a car up for sale in the Technical Model section.

Hi N6 JMX , thanks for your help.

It might be worth amending the description slightly to avoid confusion and adding some more details of the colour combination and specification.

The SV8 is a rare car, only officially available 2008-2009

Description should be:

XF 4.2 SV8 (the 'S' in this case stands for 'Super' V8, it's not an 'R' model)

An XFS 'V8' on the other hand, doesn't have a supercharger, so people can get themselves mixed up, depending on how they read it !🙂

Best of luck with the sale.

Hi, thanks for the information. I have just listed it as what it says on the rear badge and on the V5. I believe this model was the forerunner to the XFR V8 which is 5.0 litre non supercharged.

Regards JT

 

The SV8 was the top of the range XF from 2008-2009, using the 420 BHP version of the supercharged 4.2 V8 engine, which was used previously in the S-TYPE R, XJR and XKR models.

The XFR came out in 2009, and used the newer 5.0 Supercharged V8 engine with 503 BHP.

The SV8 was discontinued when the XFR was launched, hence it's rarity, only being in production for 1 year.

It was marketed as a 'Luxury performance' version, hence not being badged as an 'R' model.
