The Appeal
When it comes to a great Jaguar, the XJR X350 isn’t always what comes to mind. Despite this, it was - for its time - an impressive bit of kit that was loaded with technical improvements. The exterior may not have seemed revolutionary, but there was no doubt that this was a bit of a marvel when it came to its spec.
With air suspension, a lightweight, aluminium unibody and an impressive engine, the car was a great handler, loaded with an impressive V8 and - despite being noted for its conservative appearance - made for a brilliant drive that could thrill as easily as it could quietly drive from A to B.

This is a great all-round example of an excellent all-rounder model, with a classy, executive appearance both inside and out. With a host of features, newly refurbished wheels and excellent paintwork, you’d be hard pressed to find a better X350 on the market.
