  • Owned by The Vendor for the last 16 years
  • Just 2 former keepers
  • Genuine 47,121 miles from new

On the Surface:

A great, low-mileage example of the X300 Jaguar Sovereign, finished in Carnival Red with a contrasting Cream leather interior and complemented by chrome detailing characteristic of the model. The car presents very well, reflecting careful ownership and light use throughout its life.

Maintenance & History:

Supplied new in 1995, this Jaguar has covered a genuine 47,121 miles from new. It has been in the careful hands of The Vendor for the past 16 years, with just two former keepers prior. Its well-preserved condition and comprehensive history make it an appealing example of the model. This Sovereign is accompanied by a good history file, including old MOT certificates and invoices covering servicing and maintenance. In addition to the documented care, the car comes with useful spares such as colour-matched wing mirror backs, a spare CD and radio console, CD carriers, and a spare steering column control box.

The Model:

The Jaguar XJ (X300), produced between 1994 and 1997, was the first XJ manufactured entirely under Ford ownership, marking a evolution of the XJ40. The Sovereign was positioned as the luxury-focused model, powered here by the 4.0-litre AJ16 straight-six engine. Standard equipment included ten-way electric leather seating (with driver’s memory), cruise control, automatic climate control, and the traditional under-bonnet tool kit. Exterior enhancements included extensive chrome trim to further distinguish the Sovereign’s understated elegance.

Sale Insight:

With its low mileage, long-term ownership and desirable Carnival Red over Cream colour scheme, this Sovereign offers collectors and enthusiasts an opportunity to acquire one of Jaguar’s last classically styled saloons whcih is ready to be enjoyed

Estimate:
£1,200 - £2,200
