The Appeal
The long and low X308 was the final spin of the wheel for traditional Jaguar saloon styling. To many, it is one of the firm’s best looking cars. It is certainly one of its most capable, thanks to the addition of the 290bhp AJV8 engine.
The joy of a good XJ8 is just how relaxing and usable these cars are. There are plenty about but few with the provenance and low mileage of this one. It has covered less than 45,000 miles from new, the sparing used confirmed by a run of 13 service stamps up to April 2025 and 44,740 miles.
Finished in popular Seafrost metallic with ivory leather, it is in very good order. It comes to market with a usefully lengthy MOT to June 2026.
