Description
2004 Jaguar XJR - Reluctant Sale - Low Mileage - Tastefully Modified - Very Reliable
Reluctant sale only due to getting a car from work.
My Jaguar XJR has been my dependable daily for over two years, getting me to work and back without missing a beat. It's been a genuinely reliable, enjoyable car with that unmistakable V8 rumble and supercharger whine. It's quick, comfortable, and still feels special every time you get behind the wheel.

Bad Bits (being honest)
Like any 20 year old car, it has a few age related imperfections:
-A few cosmetic marks, shown clearly in the photos
-Cracked fog light and a small mark on the front bumper
-Being aluminium, it has a few areas of corrosion (not rust) beginning to show
-The backbox delete pipes are starting to corrode and could do with attention
-No documented service history from before my ownership. However, during my ownership I've had significant mechanical work completed, all backed by receipts and dated evidence. Much of this is also documented on my HJR Garage YouTube channel (walkaround + driving footage), so you can see how it's been maintained and used. It's been exceptionally reliable as my daily for 2+ years.
-Private Registration plate not included in the sale it will be back on its original (NJ04HKK)
Nothing here affects the way the car drives it's strong, smooth, and pulls hard.
Overall
This is a great example of a supercharged V8 Jag: reliable, quick, comfortable and full of character. It's been a fantastic daily for me.
