The Appeal
The XJR is something a bit special in the Jaguar lineup, with its 4.0 supercharged engine and firm suspension it offers the performance of a sports car, yet has the elegance and refinement of a luxury car suitable for the most discerning of motorists.
The X308 XJR is 25 years old this year, but make no mistake, this is a car that can still show a clean pair of heels to a modern performance car. It is an animal.

This XJR is finished in Sapphire Blue, boasting a very modest 31,000 miles on the clock, looks fantastic and goes even better! If you’re looking for a car that provides an exceptional level of luxury, but that can also kick out the back end on a corner (and who isn’t?) then this is the car for you.
The History and Paperwork
- V5 Present
- MOT until December
- Original vehicle handover document
- Historical MOTs from July 2002 until present documenting and verifying the mileage
- Fully stamped service history from new until November 2019 at 28,651 miles
The Interior
- Fully original interior
- Excellent condition throughout
- A very high level of luxury reflected in every piece of trim
The interior of the XJR is amongst the best Jaguar have produced, both the quality and luxury shows in every choice of material, every piece of design and in the finish. Of course the interior shows some design features that indicate the performance of the car; raised seat bolsters and the low seating position give you some clues as to what awaits when you put your foot down. However the design is primarily one of luxury, whilst the seats will hold you in during more spirited cornering they are supremely comfortable and the extensive wooden trim is almost opulent.
This XJR has been extremely well cared for and as such the interior is that of a much younger car. Everything works and the condition of the upholstery, headlining, dash and instruments is excellent.
The Exterior
- Excellent condition throughout
- All of the wheels are in fantastic condition
- Finished in Sapphire Blue

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.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
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.
