The first Jaguar XJ was launched in 1968 and the XJ designation has been used for successive Jaguar flagship models ever since. The original model was the last Jaguar saloon to have had the input of Sir William Lyons, the company’s founder. The Jaguar XJ (X300) was manufactured between 1994 and 1997 and was the first XJ produced entirely under Ford ownership and can be considered an evolution of the outgoing XJ40 generation. Like all previous XJ generations, it features the Jaguar independent rear suspension arrangement with the design emphasis on improved build quality, improved reliability and a return to traditional Jaguar styling elements. The X300 was stylistically intended to evoke the image of the more curvaceous series XJ. The front of the car was redesigned significantly to return to four individual round headlamps that provided definition to the sculptured bonnet. Mechanically, it was similar to the XJ40 that it replaced. Six-cylinder X300s are powered by the AJ16 inline-six engine which is a further enhancement of the AJ6 engine that uses an electronic distributor-less ignition system.
This particularly appealing X300 has covered just c. 69, 000 miles from new and is presented in the desirable shade of Carnival Red Metallic complemented by a cream leather interior. Frequently used and evidently cherished, it has remained in the care of its current owner for more than 20 years, during which time it has been very well maintained. Offered with a large history file incorporating documented service history, it presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a well-preserved example of Jaguar’s last great traditional XJ saloon. Combining elegant styling, effortless refinement and everyday usability, this X300 would make an excellent addition to any Jaguar collection.
