Why This Jaguar?
One of the last of the classic XJ8s before build quality declined in later years.
Finished in a desirable colour with the preferred 4. 0 V8 – smooth, powerful, and refined.
A truly comfortable, elegant cruiser that is becoming harder to find in this condition with such a strong history.
Major preventative maintenance already carried out (timing chain tensioners).
