With the X306 Jaguar reclaimed the sporting saloon crown. Supercharging the excellent AJ6 straight six 4litre engine delivered 322bhp, enough to worry the top brass in Munich and Stuttgart.
Enthusiasts like this model both for its capabilities and its durability: the engine is well regarded for its reliability.
All of which makes this 1995 example very appealing. It is a rare version of an increasingly rare car thanks to the unusual Rose Bronze Metallic finish. The mileage is also very low for a XJR - just 72,000 miles.
What really sets this car apart is its original panels, highly preserved bodywork and very good interior. The condition inside and out reflects the sparing use.
It has recently undergone a full mechanical inspection and had new suspension bushes, springs, and a gearbox spring mount fitted. The result is a car that arrives with the buyer with all the promise that these superb Jaguar sports saloons can offer.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
