Great mechanical standing with new high capacity water pump
12 month MOT
The Appeal
“One of the 20 greatest cars of all time” certainly not a statement to be used lightly, but these were indeed the words used by motoring journalist Robert Cumberford to describe the legendary Jeep Cherokee XJ.
Praised for its excellent, revolutionary design, and often hailed as one of the best looking SUVs on the roads, the Jeep Cherokee has built itself quite a reputation, and for good reason.
R765 EUF, a 1998 XJ resides in the golden era of XJ production, being one of the first years of the all new facelifted model.
With updated styling tweaks and a greatly improved interior and that legendary AMC driveline, the post 1997 XJs such as this are truly the ones to get your hands on.
A unique sight to see one not modified for off-roading purposes, this particular example presents in marvellous form. A well specified car in great original standing, with excellent paintwork, running gear and interior trim, this Jeep must undoubtedly be one of the best on the market today.
Well appointed tweed material interior with leather around the base of the seats
Highly original condition
Cruise control
What really made the Cherokee stand out as an 4x4 upon its introduction was the genuine comfort, usability and luxury found in the cabin.
Whilst Jeep had tried to improve the comfort of their legendary wrangler, they had never fully hit the nail on the head. Cue the Cherokee to come in and change the game.
Comfortable, luxurious and practical, the Cherokee could do it all.
5 deep sumptuous tweed material seats provide a simply blissful ride for the driver and passengers. Tan brown was the colour specified for the interior on this particular Cherokee and my what a choice that was. The seller has indicated that the adjustment switch for the driver's seat can be temperamental at times, but this shouldn't be difficult to remedy.
The near golden interior trim and upholstery really do pop against the dark metallic exterior paint scheme. The various appointments, including the aforementioned seating all present in great standing and, save for some tears to the side of the base of the driver's seat and some sagging to the headlining, have clearly worn their miles well.
At the sides we find four great clean door panels, with smart, high quality upholstery and neat contrasting black door furniture. Being such a high spec example, all four doors hold electric window controls, which are reported to function fully and with ease.
At the front end of the cabin sits a lovely two tone dashboard, the centrepiece of which is a great well kitted centre control panel.
Embellished with excellent, high quality wood veneer, the panel is somewhat rammed with technology and entertainment systems, all of which are reported to be in good functioning order.
Focusing on the rear, one is presented with a neat and smart, carpeted storage area, with a bespoke cargo net and covered spare wheel.
The best of the boxy automobiles. A true marvel of SUV design.
The XJ Cherokee is unquestionably a high ranker in the aesthetics department.
With simple square lines and well defined features the XJ stands out from the crowd, and for good reason. While the design of the XJ remained largely unchanged, post 1997 models such as this were treated to something of a face lift and modernisation, and as such are the far more desirable models to go for.
With a wonderful deep blue metallic paint scheme, the example we have here presents wonderfully.
The paintwork itself is of a great standard and exhibits a wonderful shine, having borne the test of time incredibly well, as such we find very little in the way of wear, patina or blemishing, with just a few marks and imperfections to be seen dotted around the Jeep, most notably a small patch of paint blistering on the front bumper.
The iconic Jeep front end, a marvellous collection of square design is of a brilliant standard and is well complimented by a set of new light lenses.
With this being a higher spec example, at ground level we find ourselves looking at a wonderful set of four “snowflake” style alloy wheels. All four present in good order and help to further set the Jeep off and give it a more lavish appearance.
Now, to the beating heart of this Cherokee, the mighty 6 cylinder powerhouse.
Under the bonnet sits a wonderful engine in the form of AMCs 4 litre straight 6 motor. A quality well maintained example, this mighty 6, fires into life effortlessly, a raughty 6 cylinder tone bellowing from the exhaust system.
With a long MOT stretching into August 2023, prospective buyers can rest assured that what we have here is a Cherokee with solid mechanical underpinnings.
A recent addition to the Cherokee, a new high capacity water pump has been fitted by the current owner.
On the road the Jeep is reported to provide a wonderful drive. Incredibly comfortable, well equipped and with hordes of power on tap, the Cherokee is something of a beast.
Whilst it hasn’t been put to the test on this particular example, plenty of XJ owners will attest to the equally excellent off road capability of the model.
A very well presented example of a design classic. One to be cherished.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.

Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
