Highlights
- A beautifully presented XJ 3.0 V6 petrol reimported from the salt free Japanese market
- Having covered around 46,000 miles only and comprehensively equipped
- A ULEZ compliant car boasting some rarely seen extras and refinements
- MOT to January 2025
The Appeal
The XJ350 arrived in 2003 to become the first Jaguar designed completely under Ford ownership. It represented a big step forward whilst remaining faithful to the proven XJ formula. The construction was all aluminium, and a new range of engines were showcased. The X358 version, as seen here, was the final facelifted version of the XJ350 line, debuting in 2007 and produced until 2010.
This fine example presents in a stunning and popular colourway of Midnight Peal over Magnolia perforated leather. The condition speaks volumes for the salt free road networks of Japan from where it was recently reimported. As we have come to expect from Jaguar saloons, this is a very well specified luxury sports saloon for the discerning buyer.
