Description
1996 Jaguar X300 XJ6 4. 0 Sport Automatic (N844 RFH)
Offered for sale is a classic 1996 Jaguar X300 4. 0 Sport, finished in timeless British Racing Green with an exceptionally well-preserved cream Connolly leather interior and factory burr walnut veneers.
Powered by Jaguar’s legendary 4. 0-litre AJ16 inline-six engine (241 bhp) mated to a smooth 4-speed automatic transmission. The AJ16 is widely considered by enthusiasts to be one of the most reliable and robust engines Jaguar ever produced.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS:
* Valid MOT until February 2026 — taxed, insured, and fully driveable.
* Substantial history file containing over £7, 000 in receipts and invoices during my ownership.
* Desirable 4. 0 Sport specification (color-coded trim, factory Sport alloy wheels, driver-focused suspension).
* Engine starts instantly, idles quietly, and pulls strongly. The ZF gearbox shifts seamlessly through all gears.
* The interior is in remarkably clean condition—supple leather seats, clean door cards, excellent headlining, and zero dash cracks.
* V5C registration document present in my name.
HONEST CONDITION ASSESSMENT:
I believe in complete transparency for fellow classic enthusiasts:
1. Tyres: The front two tyres are close to the legal wear limit and will require replacement soon.
2. Brakes: Fully operational, but would benefit from a minor routine service/ adjustment.
3. Bodywork & Underside: This is a 30-year-old classic kept on a UK driveway. It shows minor age-related cosmetic body marks and expected underside surface rust, but nothing that compromised its recent MOT pass.
4. Mileage: 164, 000 miles (runs and handles significantly better than the mileage indicates).
SUMMARY:
A fantastic entry point into 90s British luxury motoring or a very clean running project for an enthusiast.
Asking Price: £2499 ONO.
Location: Didcot, Oxfordshire.
Payment: Cash on Collection or Bank Transfer prior to handover.
Viewings welcome by appointment. It's the ultimate 90s British cruiser. The combination of the punchy 4. 0L straight-six engine, classic Connolly leather scent, and smooth ride makes every drive feel special. It turns heads everywhere.
