The Appeal
The contemporary Jaguar brand has a lot to prove after attempting to ditch its heritage and go bold in design language. In vengeance to this threat of all things traditional, we present you with a shooting brake vetted by none other than HM Queen Elizabeth II herself in Jaguar Racing Green.
We’ve handled a couple of of these X-Type estates now as they caught the attention of those in the market for a pacey noughties estate. While the Jag-thoroughbred’s might argue our best of British reference due to the Ford / Jaguar fusion it did provide a strong basis of reliability and luxuries.
This example boasts both low mileage and just two owners from new verging it onto collectors status. While not the late Queen's car, it is similar in specification to the car she used regularly. Elegant, sporty and refined, we are excited to present this stylish modern classic with a fresh MOT.
