The Appeal

Handsomely old-money and ignoring the trend of the increasingly curvy, modernist aesthetic of the competition, the X350 belies lots of clever innovation beneath its straight-laced lines. Loaded with new electrical equipment, a self-levelling air suspension and a full aluminum unibody chassis and bodywork, the new XJ was significantly lighter than its predecessors, and thus offered improved performance, to boot.

That's a pretty magical formula - twenty years later, the XJR has become a highly-demanded classic - perfectly capable for the modern network, comfortable as they come and loaded with an executive milieu that conjures up a real golden age of the marque when it was at its best.

Having covered a relatively low 87,248 miles from new, this car boasts a rare two-tone leather interior, with a history of only two registered keepers and a current MOT.
