Description

Space, grace and pace! It doesn't get any better than this. Super rare - 1 of 50 RHD Jaguar Super V8 Portfolio of the 258 Super V8 portfolios manufactured. These deluxe edition cars were made solely for the export market with 8 RHDs going to Australia and 41 RHDs going to Japan. There are seven known to be in the UK with one in the British Heritage Museum and that particular car was the last car finished in the Brown's Lane Factory. The Jaguar Super V8 Portfolio was the top of the line for the time. These models couldn't be optioned because everything that Jaguar had to offer at the time. These models were substantially lighter than their rivals due to aluminium construction and have aged more gracefully. Born from the Concept 8 revealed at the New York Auto Show in 2004, there was so much demand that Jaguar replicated the exterior exactly (except for the 20" Callisto wheels instead of the 21" for the concept car for better ride quality) and the colour scheme of the interior - 'Conker' leather by Connolly (the best quality) with Black Walnut wood - a much more contemporary interpretation of the traditional leather and burl walnut. Aesthetically the LWB X350 Jaguars are the ultimate rendition of the classic XJ shape. This stunning car was featured by JayEmm on Cars in September and can be seen on his channel: "The XJ Super V8 Portfolio: The Best Jaguar You've never Heard Of" Spec:Rear picnic tables, front and rear heated seats, individual heating controls for each zone, rear seats electronically recline, rear passenger behind passenger can move front passenger seat forward to extend the already generous legroom, privacy screens on rear passenger windows, electronically controlled rear privacy screen, 400 bhp supercharged engine from the XJR.
