Vehicle description:
I am offering for sale this magnificent Jaguar XJ8 Executive, 4. 2 V8 engine, regarded as the most reliable version in the range. A French-origin vehicle (Nantes) with a spotless history, it has been carefully preserved in a dry climate: 14 years spent in the South of France, including 11 years within the same family, guaranteeing regular servicing by Jaguar enthusiasts. The contact details of previous owners are available. After that, it has been used only for airport runs (1, 500 km in 3 years).
