The Appeal

Having a car that is classy, comfortable and a true modern classic is an appealing prospect to most. This XJ ticks all those boxes, having the classic Jaguar looks and definitely not lacking in comfort or quality.

This XJ has been with its current keeper for around 5 years and has been well cared for and has any work needed, done to high standards. The owner has kept the car under a proper cover and this shows, with slick paintwork and very nice all round condition.

Some corrosion showing under the paint on the drivers side rear wheel arch, a repair that had been done prior to the current ownership
All the lights and exterior trims are all in very good order with no evidence of moisture ingress into the lamps or any missing trims that we noticed

The Mechanics

Full set of tyres recently fitted
The car drives wonderfully with a smooth ride with no undue noises other than a very slight wheel bearing rumble which was the only MOT advisory
The superb V8 kicks into life perfectly and runs extremely smoothly with plenty of power and no smoke upon startup

Summary

A fine example of a modern classic, this XJ has been very well cared for and needs little in the way of maintenance with just a couple of minor cosmetic and mechanical issues . The vendor assured us that the car will attain upwards of 28mpg too, making it a usable luxury car and with a superb V8 engine, it's no slouch either.

With plenty of luxuries throughout the car and a huge boot space, this is the perfect car for trips out with family and luggage, or a blast across europe.
