The Appeal

The X350 executed a clever trick. Its classic lines appealed to Jaguar traditionalists, but the engineering was thoroughly modern. Aluminium construction imbued the big new car with a surprising lightness that made it both frugal - for a V8 executive express - and sports-car nimble. 
Smartly finished in popular Frost blue metallic over Ivory leather, it is a low mileage car with just two keepers from new. It is in very well preserved condition.
A run of servicing and maintenance through its life culminates recently with a service - less than 1,000 miles ago - and minor fettling to the brakes, suspension and spark plugs. 
A long MOT to October 2024, with no advisories, further underlines the impression of a well cared for and highly appealing example of Jaguar’s last classically styled XJ.
