A Jaguar owned by comedian Dawn French is for sale on Auto Trader.

French was the first owner of this 1997 Jaguar XK8 coupé. Powered by a 4-litre V8, the XK8 produces 290bhp and 290lb/ft of pulling power.

This can accelerate the British sports car from 0-60mph in 6.5 seconds before reaching a limited top speed of 155mph.

Inside, the car is fitted with air-conditioning, electric windows, power steering, sports seats and CD player.

Sitting on 18-inch alloys the automatic Jag - which cost £50,000 new - boasts traction control and a private plate. It has a combined fuel economy of 22mpg, and 102,000 miles on the clock.

French made her name in the Eighties forming one half of French and Saunders. She is married to fellow comic Lenny Henry.

Her greatest solo success came in the Nineties with The Vicar of Dibley, playing pastor Geraldine Grainger.

Now you can get your hands on one of Britain’s most loved comedian’s cars for £8,495. Click here to see the advert.
