The Appeal

Jaguar’s XJ saloons have an unrepeatable road presence, with their suave styling and smooth running engines. They are truly magnificent executive saloons, which combine tasteful design with capable performance.

This particular Jaguar is from the last year of production of the X308 series and is finished in a fetching shade of Carnival Red and its bodywork appears to be very good. The interior is very well appointed for its age and remains in good condition throughout.

Now presented for sale, this XJ is a sumptuous place to be and will certainly provide many miles of enjoyable motoring.
