The Appeal
Long before they were making the headlines for questionable rebrands, Jaguar's X100 was being celebrated as a return to standard for Coventry's legendary brand. Inspired by that much-loved heritage, it carried cues from the E-Type and more than captured that age-old adage of Grace and Pace. It wasn't quite as spacey as it could be, of course, but that was pedantry. Two outta three ain't bad.
Capable of cruising effortlessly at 100mph, and loaded with comfort, it was a tourer with the Millenium in mind, and easy one of Jaguar's all-time greatest hits. Now, nearly a quarter of a century later, they're simply one of the best value Jags you can buy.
This 2002 supercharged example boasts a remarkably low mileage, and is quite the looker - presented in an imposing black with a cream leather cabin, and ready and waiting for the lucky new owner to take onto the road. Get one of these handsome cars in your garage, and you'll not regret it.
