Just one former registered keeper and in current ownership for over six years
Good history file including MOT certificates and service records
Post-Covid refurbishment including brake discs, pads, and a major service
New headlining fitted in 2025
The Appeal
The X308-generation XJ8 was the last of Jaguar's traditionally styled saloons, pairing elegant lines with a modern V8 engine and five-speed automatic transmission. These cars are wonderful long-distance cruisers, riding a wave of smooth power and torque that's increasingly rare in today's vehicles.
This Sherwood green example with cream leather interior has had just two registered keepers from new, the second of whom has owned the car since November 2019. It comes accompanied by a good history file, and the vendor has kept it in regular use, addressing issues as they arose.
Used at weekends only for the last three years, this XJ8 presents as a well-maintained, cared-for example ready to be enjoyed.image.png1.47 MB
