The Background 


The XJ was a luxury saloon produced between 1997-2003 and came in a few flavours the XJ8, Sport, Sovereign, SE and this car the XJR.

The XJR has a more powerful supercharged 4.2L V8, sportier suspension, wider wheels and tires. It was capable of 0-60 in 5.6 seconds and was limited to 155mph, this shows how quick this car really is.

The History

 
This Jaguar started its life out in London at the Stratstone Jaguar branch and then appears to have made its way to Buckinghamshire around Milton Keynes.

The current owner (a car dealer who specialise in Jaguars) acquired the car in around 2017 as a personal car and spent quite a bit of money on it, in the middle of the ownership he sold it briefly to a customer who couldn’t make up their mind, they owned it very briefly and swapped it back to the owner for a more modern Jaguar. This ultimately put another owner on the Logbook, but it really hasn’t.

The current owner has looked after and loved this car as it should be, they now think it is time for someone else to enjoy the comfort and speed of this Jaguar.

The Paperwork 


There is a lot of paperwork that comes with this car to document the stages of its life whether it is the receipts for the tires or a new brake caliper bit in 2016. You can spend a good while looking through what there is as there is a lot of it.

This paperwork should put you at ease that this car has been well loved and looked after and not on a shoestring budget. Parts have been bought from Jaguar specialist and early services were completed at the London Stratstone Jaguar branch.

The Interior


The interior is in pretty good condition the cream leather with wooden accent is true Jaguar, when you get in you instantly feel like you’re in a special place. This may be fitted with a big supercharged V8 but the interior is quiet and very comfortable.

The only thing to pick up on within the interior is that the steering wheel is looking quite tired but for a car that is almost 20 years old and 124,000 miles there is little signs to its age. With the current owner there has been a few interior bit fixed and re-fitted like the rear blind and a new door car.

With this being a well specced Jaguar there is a lot to play with on the inside and on a long journey this is one of the best places to be.

The Exterior


The exterior of this jag is in great condition, as you can see from the pictures the paintwork still has a shine and a deep gloss with some excellent reflections in the sun. 

If you’re too look at some of the history with the car you will be able to see that back in 2017 there was a fairly large bill to repair the majority of the body panels due to oxidation. There is a small part on the rear bumper where you can see some repair work but apart from that the rest is pretty good.

The alloy wheels are in great condition too with little to no marking from arguments with curbs. This is a good looking modern classic Jag.

The Mechanics 


This car has been well looked after, all you have to do is look through the service book and you’ll be able to see how the previous owners have taken care of the car mechanically.

In the current ownership there have been a whole host of mechanical parts that have been replaced/serviced including big things like a new air suspension compressor to the little things like a new battery a couple of years back.

Fitted with the glorious V8 supercharged engine this Jag really does shift along the road when you want to move. The gearbox is smooth and works as it should. This may be a barnstormer when you want it to be, but rest assured this jag has a supple and refined ride for the majority of the time.

The Appeal 


This Jaguar is a great example of a car that encapsulates the big engined Jaguars of old with the refinement and usability of more modern offerings. 

With thanks to all of the work that has been done on this car in all of the ownerships to look after it mechanically and visually you can be sure that this is a great example of a modern classic.

Whether you want to pootle down to the shops for a pint of milk or trek across Europe this is the car to do it. The pure comfort and soundtrack that this Jaguar offers will keep you coming back for more.

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.
