The Appeal
The X351 is the pinnacle of the petrol-powered Jaguar saloon era. It reinvented what a Jaguar saloon could look like, whilst its aluminium construction continued the lightweight agility of its more traditionally styled predecessor.
This 2012 car dials everything up to 11, from its 5.0-litre 385bhp V8 engine to its Premium Luxury specification. It is an extremely low-mileage car that spent its life on the salt-free roads of Japan until late 2025, when the vendor acquired it in the UK. The service history also reflects Japan’s typically high standards, showing regular attention by main dealers despite the paltry use. The last service was in May 2025, less than 100 miles ago. The MOT runs to November 2026 with no advisories.
Showing few signs of age and equipped with a premium specification that includes high-end sounds, twin sunroofs and full beige and dark brown leather, this is a proper find for lovers of luxury express cars. If that wasn’t enough the car also meets the current ULEZ emissions standards according to TFL website!
