| JAGUAR XJ8
3.2 SPORT - 58000 Miles Fantastic Condition - Carnival Red P Zero Pirellis Two Enthusiast Keepers A1 Driver Chassis no : SAJJPALG3CH872944 Engine No : KC9904100017 First registered and pre delivery inspected by Avalon Jaguar in Wolverhampton on the 1st October 1999 to a Mr Evans of Walsall. He owned the car for the first 4 years until when it was traded back to the dealer and sold as part of the approved used Jaguar programme by Taggarts Jaguar in Maryhill Rd to a Mrs Mculloch - a pub Landlady who owned the Coach House in Gargunnock just outside Stirling. The Lady never owned it long, just 14 months when it was sold to its third and last keeper on 23.03.2004, a Mr Murray who was an employee of Pentland Jaguar, he has owned it for the last 15 years. As such the vehicle has been extremely well maintained by a Jag enthusiast and a cut above your average 20 year old Jag, it looks and drives like a 5 year old car, say no more. Cats are beautiful, and fast. A cat flows like dark liquid in moonlight, and so do the lines of a Jaguar XJ. You can buy other luxury sedans with similar performance, but you won't find another that looks anything like this. And that, really, is the point of any Jaguar. If you are charmed by its looks, then there is no alternative. The X308 The final edition of the true Jags was the X308 model with a new shallower grille bumpers incorporating oval front indicators & side reflectors with 1/4 chrome trims instead of the full width ones, as well as revised clear indicator rear light clusters and the fitting of revised headlamps with clear lenses and optic reflectors. The last of the true Jags. The way the automatic gearbox slurs through the ratios both going up and down the cogs is also quite delightful. Although the cars emphasis is still slightly softer than a BMW 7 Series, the Jag Sport does not pitch and wallow through corners, the weight of that V8 engine marshaled far more effectively. Driving the XJ along twisty roads is wonderful. The steering is very precise and provides good feel at speed. At the same time, the steering remains light to the touch at low speeds, making driving around town and in parking lots a bit easier. Handling is firm without being too harsh.

I am delighted to offer this traditional style Jaguar, it is one of the sweetest Jags I have seen in rather a long time. Jaguar's XJ makes a statement when it rolls onto the scene, it arrives.
