- Rare Italian Racing Red paintwork
- Only two registered keepers from new
- High specification facelift 5litre Portfolio
- MOT to 29th December 2024 with no advisories
The Appeal
Light, nimble, agile and very, very quick. Perhaps the X150 is the closest Jaguar to the four-legged version that the firm has ever produced.
With its Italian Racing Red paintwork, this example nods to the car’s purpose: to beat the cars from Maranello, Sant’Agat and Modena at their own game. Clever aluminium construction and a thumping V8 provided the handling and performance to do just that.
It is a high specification 5litre Portfolio that has had just two keepers from new. They have clearly looked after it, topping up the service history with regular, scheduled visits to Jaguar main dealers throughout its life. It was last serviced at 55,675 miles and is now on 56,648 miles. There is also an MOT until the end of December 2024 with no advisories.
The current keeper is a Jaguar collector - you’ll note the enthusiast stickers in the rear windows of the car - and this is a very reluctant sale. The buyer gets a stand-out example of a car which, as the seller succinctly puts it, is all about the drive and the journey rather than the destination.
