The Appeal
The final iteration of the venerable XJ40 platform, the X350 was a tonic in a time when cars were growing increasingly homogenous. The rather prim-and-proper styling conjured up nostalgic, deeply aspirational cars, while the ever-popular V8 brought about refined, capable performance at its best. The big change was in modernising the evocative, executive-level cabin, ridding those 80s-style angular instruments and bringing in a curvy binnacle.
This 2005 car is a grand ambassador, with plenty of comfort, refinement and sheer class. Having been in the current ownership since 2016, this particular XJ8 benefits from consistent care and maintenance, with all advisories addressed. It's ready and waiting to go, and we're sure it'll be a very rewarding classic for the lucky new keeper.
