The Appeal
Around the world the name Jaguar is one synonymous with luxury class and style, but for those familiar with the marque, the addition of just two more letters makes everything that bit more special. The letters in question, XJ.
With a silky smooth straight six engine paired to a marvellous automatic transmission, the XJ is very much the last word in luxurious motoring at a great price and remains one of the most popular choices for those in the market for a high quality executive cruiser.
The example we are presented with here is arguably one of the most exciting and unique to be brought to market in a considerable amount of time.
Originally a demo car, then sold to just a handful of owners, amassing incredibly low miles before being brought forward into the light of day from storage for the first time in some two decades, it is fair to say that this is a very special Jaguar, and one that is accompanied by an incredibly interesting story.

The History and Paperwork
• Original Jaguar service book with stamped Jaguar services prior to being put in storage
• Original Jaguar handbook pack
• Supplying dealer (HA Fox) keyring and sticker
• MOT until November 2022
The story of the history of this Jaguar is rather a unique one. Starting back upon first registration as a demo car in July 1993, at which point the car bore the registration mark K209 LHP and was subsequently sold to the 2nd owner (Mr Dow) in October 1993 when it then had the private plate A19 DOW assigned.
The new Owner took delivery of his car and used it until January 1996 by which time the car had only covered 24,200 miles and was parked in his garage to be used by him for the last time.
There the car remained unused until it was subsequently discovered in October of 2021, 25 years later and still with just 24,200 miles from new.

The car was then recommissioned and serviced, 4 new tyres were fitted, a new battery and then in November 2021 it was put through its very first MOT. Since November of 2021 the car has covered a few hundred miles and now shows just 24,800 genuine miles
The Interior
• Saville grey leather upholstery
• Factory fitted sunroof
• Good quality wood finish trim pieces
Always a statement piece on Jaguars, the cabin of this XJ sticks true to form, the ocean of sumptuous leather and wood trim is an utter feast for the eyes. In such remarkable unmarred condition, one could easily be tricked into thinking the car had never left the factory in 1993.
The marvellous seating both front and rear, coated in rich Saville grey leather is in wonderful order, being such a low mileage car, these seats are naturally lacking in the wear so commonly found on the bolsters and cushioning on the higher mileage examples of these super cruisers.
The real eye catcher in the front of the cabin is of course the vast wood finish trim piece slotted into the dashboard, a true sign that one is in a quality automobile, the wood veneer has a truly excellent shine to it and looks perfectly nestled within the car.
The wood motif continues its way into the centre console which is of an equally good standard.

Up top sits a clean well trimmed roof liner, within which sits the factory fitted sunroof which opens fully. At the bottom we find a plush carpeting draping its way across the cabin floor and looking to the sides, we find four smart door panels, with clean grey and black leather alongside excellent wood veneer and chrome embellishments.
The other pieces of wood trim and switchgear dotted around the cabin naturally conform to the same high standard, as does the leather steering wheel and wheel mounted buttons. It is great to see the icons and text printed on the buttons still bold and not faded and blank as a result of years of hard usage.
The Exterior
• Steel grey metallic paintwork
• Excellent aesthetic order
• Clean original condition
• Chrome trim and bumpers
There’s a certain level of envy exuded from others on the road when they see an XJ wafting past them on the road, and looking at the car from the outside it’s clear to see why.
The brilliant design, with its classic styling cues and iconic front end oozes class without being brash, there is always a subtle knowledge that whoever is behind the wheel of an XJ knows a thing or two about style and quality.

Finished in a marvellous steel grey metallic paint scheme, this XJ is no exception to this notion. Benefiting from dry storage and very limited usage throughout its lifetime, the car presents fabulously, the paintwork is of a good standard with a brilliant shine exuding from all angles.
The wonderful adornments of chrome trim and badging is of a good standard, however it should be noted that there is some speckling to be seen on the rear bumper and door handles, though the current owner informs that four replacement door handles and a rear bumper corner will accompany the car upon sale should the new owner wish to install these.

At ground level we find four great Jaguar wheel trims, all of which are somewhat unsurprisingly, in great condition, having been so well preserved throughout the car’s lifetime all four of these sit on new tyres which were fitted once the car was taken out of storage in late 2021. A fifth spare wheel is found under a bespoke cover in the well trimmed boot area.
The car is currently on a private registration A19 DOW, which the current owner informs will accompany the car with the sale.
The Mechanics
• Great six cylinder engine
• Automatic transmission
• Recommissioned after being taken out of storage
Opening the bonnet, one would be forgiven for questioning whether the car had done 2 thousand miles let alone the 24 thousand miles it actually has done.
We find an incredibly clean example of Jaguar’s legendary 3.2 litre straight six shoehorned into the front of the XJ, boasting clean plastics and ancillaries, the car, courtesy of its consistent regular maintenance prior to being put into storage, followed by light recommissioning once taken back out, the XJ is in wonderful mechanical order.

The tracking was recently done and at this time a full inspection of the Jag’s underside was carried out, which highlighted just how clean the car is underneath. However, it was noted by the technician who did the tracking that the right hand gator on the steering rack had a split and will need replacement.
Summary
A beautiful car in fabulous condition with exceptionally low mileage. This XJ is an undoubtedly special car. Boasting low miles, low owners and presenting in near timewarp condition, there may be no finer XJ on the market at present.
This is a fast appreciating classic that will make a wonderful addition to anyone’s collection or wedding car fleet.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
