Few large saloons have managed to blend sportiness and luxury as brilliantly as the Jaguar XJ, and the Sport version of the X308 generation perhaps represents this model’s peak. In addition to the new V8 engines that lifted power and efficiency, the XJ8 introduced a much more attractive dashboard, with three deeply recessed dials. The XJ Sport variant added firmer suspension and wider, larger wheels, as well as a matte black windscreen and window surrounds and a body-coloured radiator grille surround.
 
This 2002 XJ8 Sport is an exceptional, low-kilometre... low-mileage example that has been meticulously maintained, regardless of mileage. Purchased in 2005 by the seller, it has been kept in a garage since 2008 and used only occasionally; between 2016 and 2025 the car covered less than 400 miles.
 
Outside, the car presents extremely well. The seller states it has been underseal treated regularly and, in the past ten years, has only been driven on dry summer days. A small blemish on the rear bumper is the only mark noted.
 
Inside, the Ivory leather interior is original and complete – right down to the original Motorola car phone. The seller states that the car drives “extremely smoothly”.

This is an unusually original, well-cared-for and low-mileage example of the XJ Sport, whose unique blend of style, luxury and sporting prowess is ready to be enjoyed by a new owner.

BEFORE YOU BUY 

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following: 

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions.. 

✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates. 

✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is” basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes, and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind. 

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing. 

✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do, and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence. 

✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic, and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status, and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle. 

✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection 

or delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duty and import taxes, so it's worth checking beforehand. It is the bidder's responsibility to confirm import eligibility prior to purchase. 

✓ Unless stated otherwise, you must assume that any cherished, personalised, or heritage vehicle registration is not included in the sale of a vehicle.
