The Appeal
The X300 Jaguar saloon debuted in 1994 and became the first Jaguar to be developed whilst the company was fully a subsidiary of Ford following it taking a majority shareholding in 1989. Ford’s priority was to retain the outgoing XJ40’s traditional appeal whilst dramatically improving the rather patchy build quality of its predecessor. Key to this aim was the introduction of cutting-edge robotised welding technology, ironically supplied by Nissan. The result was a highly successful luxury saloon with a vastly improved quality record.
This example is an entirely original example with a low ownership and low mileage history. The average period of tenure equates to almost 7 years with mileage being accrued at a mere 1,600 miles, or so, annually. This makes this X300 Jaguar quite unusual amongst its peers and all the more desirable for it.
The X300 prioritised steadying the Jaguar ship following some stormy waters created by the poor-quality record of its predecessor. £200M invested in a state-of-the-art production facility helped to produce a car that was streets ahead of its predecessor in that regard. Whilst supply of XJ6 models of this vintage are plentiful, low mileage, low owner cars always command a premium.
This example stands out courtesy of its history. A mere four owners to date and an incredibly low mileage combine to set this car apart. This light and sympathetic usage seems to have benefitted the condition of the Jaguar, too. The car presents in a highly original order with exterior and, especially, interior looking very fresh overall. This represents a great opportunity to own a luxury British saloon for a modest outlay so don’t miss out.

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.
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.
