Summary

Everyone can appreciate a Jaguar, after all, the name is synonymous with quiet executive transport with plush cosseting interiors and unflustered power on demand. This KJ8 has all of that in abundance, but with the added confidence that it has been maintained properly. It has an enviable service record along with details of some remedial work over the last year, resulting in what has to be one of the most attractive Jags around.

Not only has it been lovingly cared for, but it has covered such a minimal distance and it shows in the lack of wear to the interior. That ivory leather would display any misuse quite quickly, and yet it is clean and supple and ready to carry you comfortably for many years to come.
