  • Eye-catching coach lines
  • Interior roof lining professionally restored

The Appeal

This 1997 Jaguar XJ Sport 4.0 is an excellent example of the increasingly rare and much sought after model. The XJ Sport, with its large engine and luxurious features, embodies the heritage and quality of the Jaguar marque, one that's still world renowned for its true best-of-British character.

This particular vehicle, presented in striking Flamenco red with Ivory leather, has been maintained to an exceptional standard, and has only covered a respectably low 69,836 miles from new. We've no doubt that this distinguished, beautifully presented car will garner plenty of admiring glances.
