2000 – Jaguar XJ8 3.2L Executive

Dutch circulation permit Chassis n°SAJAA13L11KF22515 - Heir to the world's most beautiful sedan - Second hand, up-to-date service book and manuals - Very sound with less than 166,000 kms - Magnificent tone-on-tone color combination Location: Paris region The car presented is a Jaguar XJ type X308 powered by the 3.2L V8 in Executive trim. This 3.2-liter double overhead cam V8 engine develops 243 hp and is mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission for optimum driving pleasure. This XJ8 was sold new by British Racing Green of Milan to a lawyer in September 2000. It was serviced by the Italian Jaguar network until 2014, as attested by the up-to-date service booklet. In 2014, the car changed hands and moved to Holland, where it was driven and carefully maintained by a classic car specialist who has used it on his travels to this day. The paintwork is original except on the top of the front left fender, which has been professionally retouched following a small scratch. There's just one crack on the windscreen that needs replacing, a stitch on the driver's seat that needs repairing, and a mischievous fuel gauge that needs revising. This timeless, elegant Jaguar, descendant of the XJ6, named the world's most beautiful saloon in 1968, has the same lines and proportions as the XJ6, but benefits from a smooth, quiet, fuel-efficient engine that is highly reliable in late-production examples like this one, and a plush, comfortable interior. It's hard to find an everyday neo-classic car on the market offering such value for money. This example, with reasonable mileage and in near-new condition, is therefore particularly interesting and attractive.
