The Appeal
The arrival of the X350 brought significant changes to the venerable XJ saloon. Introducing an all-aluminium monocoque and four-corner air suspension with adaptive damping. The new XJ was a technological tour de force; a thoroughly modern take on an old concept.
Here we have a 3.5-litre V8 petrol-engined XJ8 that's in quite remarkable condition for its age. It stands out for its excellent continuity of care, having been in the same ownership for the past seventeen years. The comprehensive service history, with nine service stamps in the book, demonstrates the consistent maintenance this vehicle has received throughout its life.
Having been garage-kept and recently serviced and MOT-tested, this XJ8 presents an opportunity to acquire a superb example of Jaguar's flagship luxury saloon.
