Highlights

- New MOT with no advisories
- Original and impeccably preserved inside and out
- Well-documented service history demonstrating a lifetime of careful maintenance
The Appeal
While its styling was not a significant departure from its predecessor, technologically, the advent of the X350 marked one of the most significant chapters in Jaguar’s esteemed history.
Its monocoque was constructed entirely from a lightweight aluminium alloy - a ground-breaking innovation that made it fifty per cent stiffer than the outgoing X308. The ride was sublime thanks to self-levelling adaptive air suspension with damping that could be altered in milliseconds using Jaguar’s CATS electronic control system.
We’re delighted to offer this 2008 X358, the final evolution of the X350 platform which was unveiled in 2007. With just 25,519 miles on the odometer, a rich history file and the guarantee of a fresh MOT for the next owner, this XJ6 is one of the finest examples in existence. Such low mileage is almost unheard of with XJs of this vintage, especially these V6 diesel examples which were a favourite long-distance motorway cruiser. The most recent service was carried out in November 2023 with just over two thousand miles covered since.
Impeccably presented and beautifully preserved throughout, this Jaguar is eminently worthy of your consideration and a place on your driveway. These cars offer unrivalled luxury grand touring and this economical diesel example is utterly superb in every respect.

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.
