The Appeal
Replacing a long-running, much-loved car is never easy. With its new X350 XJ Jaguar cleverly delivered by combining traditional aesthetics with thoroughly modern engineering.
Extensive use of aluminium made the new car surprisingly nimble for a big executive saloon. Potent V8s and a high specification prioritising wood and leather wooed buyers out of rival German cars.
This 2004 top-spec Sovereign must be one of the lowest mileage examples to come to market in recent years. It has covered just 13,000 miles in 20 years. Until 2021 it resided in salt-free Japan, which - together with that low mileage - likely explains the impeccable condition.
This is as close to a new X350 as it is surely possible to get, which is great news for enthusiasts of these luxurious Jaguar saloons. Equipped with a fresh MOT it looks ready to enjoy.
