- Low mileage car with FSH
- Recent service and waxoil
- Long MOT to November 2024
The Appeal
The X300’s classic style and smooth Jaguarness makes it a popular emerging classic. Likely few are quite like this one. Not only is it one of just 747 3.2 LWB cars built, it is a very low mileage, highly original car that arrives with us in quite remarkable condition.
Inside and out this is a well kept car thanks to its two careful owners. The first, an Italian lady, was only ever chauffeur driven in the car when she visited London (it was dry stored in winter). The second is a Jaguar enthusiast who has, if anything, treated it with even more care.
The evidence for this is documented in the vast history file. It includes 20 service stamps, all by Jaguar main dealers and well known marque specialists. There is a recent service and long MOT.
This is one of the best examples we have recently seen of a car that is garnering growing interest. It is a collector-quality car ready for its third keeper in 28 years.
