Description

Classic Jaguar. X350. Alloy body. Smooth engine belies it's age and mileage. Selling because I am buying another supercharged jaguar (which will be my 5th jag). This car was a stop gap. Previous owner had for 9 years. Gap in service history as previous owner was ex mechanic who did his own servicing, so when I got it I had engine service, gearbox service and diff service and book stamped. Plenty of receipts from me and previous owner. Recent front pads and discs, 4 Michelin Cross Climate 2 fitted this year plenty of tread. Recent front bumper replacement due argument with a badger (note parking sensors in bumper, but do not work as car never fitted with them originally. Driver headrest motor recently replaced, headlamp wash pump recently replaced. Usual marks commensurate with age. BAD POINTS: some corrosion on door bottoms, arches and boot lid. Solid and as this is alloy body will not progress like steel rust. Some stitching on centre console opened up. Small chip in windscreen, noted on last few MoT, so not an issue. 1 headlamp washer jet nozzle missing, I will include spare. Wing mirrors permanently dimmed. Small dent above nearside headlamp, my fault, caused by misjudging distance to wife's Jeep mudguard. GOOD POINTS: well looked after.Engine smooth and quiet but will snarl over 3000 rpm. On a run can return over 30 mpg. Petrol tank straps replaced (known weak point on these). Rear blind works! AC nice and cold. Full size spare wheel. 2 fully functional keys. All manuals and handbooks present with radio code. Only real mechanical issues in my ownership was a coil pack failed so plug and coil replaced (plus due to stripped thread on coil bolt retainer, replacement cam cover), headlamp bulbs (failed H7 connector block replaced), leaking air shock which is ordered and due to arrive and be fitted w/c 02/09/24. Mileage may increase a little as daily driver until S Type R arrives. Next MOT due 15/12/2024, Silver, 5+ owners, £2,475
