The Appeal
It turns out you can have it all. In 2003 Jaguar gave buyers who wanted XJR-style performance without compromising luxury the ultimate solution: the simply named Sovereign Supercharged.
Combining the supercharged 4.2litre 400bhp AJV8 engine with top Sovereign specification opulence, the Sovereign Supercharged was designed as the ultimate super saloon. The X350’s light aluminium construction provided surprisingly nimble handling while the air suspension offered typically Jaguar magic carpet ride.
Originally sold new in Japan, this 2006-built X356 cleverly underplays its potential with Sovereign badging, but is the desirable Sovereign Supercharged specification. A low mileage car with popular colour scheme in great order, this is surely the ultimately version of Jaguar’s last classically styled saloon.
