Jaguar “X300s” are rapidly increasing in value and collector interest at the moment, as the last of the straight-six XJs and – in the eyes of many – the last truly pretty Jaguar saloon car.
Despite being Jaguar’s fastest-selling car, they’re also becoming increasingly rare as they were only on sale for three years.
This one is a really early example – a January 1995 car so registered only three months after production of the model began. It has a lot going for it, having been owned by one owner (though registered twice to his and his ex-wife) until 2018.
He was a British National splitting his time between the UK and South Africa and the car was kept at his Knightsbridge home to be used only when he was back in the UK, hence why it has covered a very low mileage.
It was originally supplied by RA Cramer of Kensington, which supplied all Jaguar and Rover cars to the Royal households. Although the dealer has now gone, the name lives on today, with none other than Jaguar founder Sir William Lyon's grandson at the helm. 4SORJ06Gv9prWapDRcVNZFImpZMe1NKZj6B96bb6.jpeg1.18 MB
THE HISTORY AND PAPERWORK
Supplied new by RA Cramer of Kensington – the supplier to the Royal Family
Two prior owners, the first until 2018
Used sparingly as owner spent only a few months a year in the UK
Although a 3.2 XJ6 – essentially the entry-level car – this one had lots of extras fitted when new. Indeed, it was quite common for Jaguar buyers to select a base model and build it up to their own specification when the car was new rather than choose one of Jaguar’s pre-ordained trim levels.
As such it has leather, air conditioning, a Harman/Kardon stereo and CD changer and luxury Sovereign-spec over mats, among other features. It’s in fabulous order, too, as you’d expect from a car with such low miles.
Sport-sped ‘Dimple’ alloys with brushed aluminium finish
All original paint
Immaculate condition
No dents or damage
Good chrome and trim
The options list got a look-in where the exterior was concerned, too, with the buyer specifying seldom-seen but very smart Westminster Blue coachwork and ‘Dimple’ wheels, usually seen on the XJ Sport.
These are the premium brushed-alloy finish ones as well and are presented in very good order.
If you want an early example of the X300 in the best condition, with a good history and an extremely pleasant specification, then here it is.
This car has good pedigree, is in fantastic overall condition and is well worth adding to a collection or simply enjoying as it is.
There aren’t many left that are this good and this original.
