Description
A fantastic genuine Jaguar XJ8 Sovereign 2.7 TD, now approaching its 20th birthday. A beautifully appointed luxury saloon that offers an incredible level of comfort, refinement and road presence for the money.
This Jaguar is a real head-turner and I have personally received multiple compliments on it. The combination of the Sovereign specification, classic Jaguar styling and smooth diesel engine gives it an unmistakable presence that modern cars simply don't have.
One of the car's biggest selling points is its exceptionally well-documented history. Across its almost 20-year life, the service booklet is missing just two service stamps. Importantly, there are receipts confirming that servicing was carried out during one of these periods the relevant services simply weren't stamped in the booklet. The history therefore provides excellent reassurance that the apparent gaps aren't necessarily gaps in maintenance.
The car has also recently had a full service and has just passed its MOT first time, with zero warning lights showing on the dashboard.
Being a Jaguar XJ, it is equipped with air suspension, making it exceptionally comfortable to drive. The ride is exactly what you'd expect from a luxury Jaguar smooth, quiet and effortless, particularly on longer journeys.
The car has covered approximately 131,000 miles, which is very respectable for a vehicle approaching 20 years old.
As you'd expect with a car of this age, there are some minor age-related cosmetic imperfections. There is some slight lacquer peel on the bonnet, which is visible on close inspection. This is purely cosmetic and, in my opinion, entirely understandable given the vehicle's age. The car otherwise presents very well and retains the imposing appearance these XJs are famous for.
