Description
2010 Jaguar XJ V8 X351 Portfolio SWB, not an XJL! ULEZ free
Rare SWB Portfolio with the 5.0 V8 (AJ133), 385hp, 6 speed gearbox, finished in JKM Spectrum Blue Metallic, one of Jaguar's nicest colours. In daylight it appears as a deep royal blue, while under evening light it takes on a purple tone (see pictures)
The interior is finished with carbon fibre trim and white contrast stitching, very modern and excellent condition.
The car is a top-spec Portfolio, including:
* Bowers & Wilkins premium audio system
* Front and rear heated/ventilated seats
* Front massage seats
* Bi-xenon headlights with adaptive lighting
* Keyless entry and start
* Heated steering wheel
* Adaptive cruise control
* And many other options
I bought the car knowing it had failed its MOT due to rear subframe corrosion, with the intention of restoring it properly. The rear subframe has now been replaced with a rust-free unit sourced from a French car. While everything was apart, I replaced a number of wear items and carried out preventative maintenance.
- Wheels have been professionnaly refurbished, unbuckled and epoxy painted
* Rust-free replacement rear subframe
* Rear half shafts
* Rear brake calipers
* Rear brake pads
* Water pump and auxiliary belt
* Upgraded coolant pipes
* Engine oil and filter
* Differential oil
* ZF gearbox sump/filter and sealing sleeve
* Spark plugs
* Drop links
* Air filters and cabin filter
* Misc: New battery, New Toyota wheel nuts, New TPMS sensors, New wipers
* Anti corrosion protection
The car is fitted with matching quality tyres:
* Pirelli front, Michelin rear, recent brakes
Service history is main dealer until 2017, followed by specialists, with invoices available for some of the later work. The last owner kept the car for several years.
I have spent considerably more on the car than originally expected, there are still some cosmetic marks expected with age, but mechanically the car is strong and drives well.
Any question please let me know (email is easier for me as I'm travelling a lot)
Private plate comes with the car
