Did anyone ever make a hardtop for the XK8 convertible?

 

My XK8 has a hard top! But I assume you mean a removable one, so the answer is, as far as I know, 'no'.

 

Like this?

 

That's pretty cool. I bet they're rare and expensive.

 

Is that real or photoshopped?

 

Looks like I stand corrected! They are obvioulsly so rare that I'd never even heard of one. A bit more research suggests that Arden used to make it (not listed now on the website) and they were about 7,000 Euros ten or fifteen years ago.

 

Cheaper just to buy a coupe for rainy days and keep the convertible for when the sun is shining.

 

You know...with a little design change, that would look pretty good.............all but the 7,000.00 Euros Price Tag!.....Tell us more about it, Brizzy and send some more Photos of it!

This topic was discussed in 2010, same picture, and the car I think was owned by a senior member..jaxkr, just google Jaguar xk8 hardtop and click Mecum.
it was made by Arden

 

was also made by Wiesmann in England.

 

Weismann made the top for Arden. That was my car & to the best of my knowledge the only one in the US.
