Description
Up for sale at North Devon Classic Cars is our rather lovely Jaguar XJ8 from 1998. This is a rare combination spec-wise, being a long wheelbase example of the X308 (not that rare in itself), also in Seafrost Green Metallic (rarer and the best exterior colour for an XJ in my opinion), and also with Catkin over Pine interior package, which I have not seen outside of the brochure from launch!
It was the green (Catkin) upper section to the dash, plus steering wheel, gear knob and carpets that drew me to the car.
It also has exceptionally low mileage for the year at 67k and the condition reflects this, with the bare minimum of wear inside. It's close to new inside, with glossy burr walnut, supple leather and a great smell.
There is plenty of room in the back of these LWB X308s, which isn't something the standard cars are blessed with. Smart money is on these extended versions riding better too.
There is an extensive history with the car, including 24 stamps in the book, recently all at Jag specialists. It is due an annual service by time and this will be completed prior to sale. Front pads and calipers were renewed in 2025. Front tyres were replaced in 2024 and the rears in 2026. A new battery was fitted in 2026. The vehicle' MOT was renewed in April 2026.
The vehicle comes with 3 keys, including the green valet key, a complete book pack and an XJ brochure dating from 1998.
A very complete and well looked after X308, in a rare and desirable spec, with low mileage and a comprehensive history - hard to repeat!
Delivery available and part-exchange considered.
Thanks for looking.
