The Last Classically Styled Jaguar Saloon, technically advanced XJ (X350), the best built ever, fast and handled well, the super V8 a true wolf in sheep’s clothing – the last classic fast smooth Jaguar XJ.
After 4 glorious years behind the wheel of his 2003 Super V8 he is having a re shuffle of his vehicles and the Jaguar needs to find a new home. He tells us nothing else he has driven has the combination of comfort and understated performance. A £72k car when new in 2003, it is fitted with a serious list of kit: A 4.2 litre supercharged V8 with 400 bhp, 6 speed ZF auto with sport mode, accelerates this Super V8 to 62 mph in 5.3 seconds and on to a maximum speed of 155 mph. This super V8 has the Radar-based Adaptive cruise control not found on other models, a rear bonus. Its cabin retains the charm of an upper-crust clubroom: nicely stuffed seats with piping, lots of polished wood and wool rugs underfoot. It is clear from the bills it has been very well looked after with work either at Jaguar or in well respected independent prestige Jaguar specialists. It has a few very small points of electrolytic corrosion.
On a typical fast cruise with motorway work the vendor tells us he gets 27-28mpg, which is amazing for a car of the size and just shows the benefit of the aluminium construction. Just MOT’d, so next MOT due 23/11/2021 – In the vendor’s ownership it has spent much of its time cruising motorways between Bournemouth and Portsmouth.

Auctioneers notes: I have nothing to add to the vendor’s description other than to say “what a truly stunning car, built out of aluminium with over 400 BHP” This is a car to collect now for the future – may be viewed strictly by appointment
