Highlights

The Appeal


In many respects, the X350 was the last traditional Jaguar. Those heritage-style lines were unmistakable then and unmistakable now, but the car's traditional aesthetic concealed a technology-led core. Advanced electrical systems, a self-levelling suspension, and a full aluminium unibody all came together to erase doubts that this was a 21st-century car, even if it stuck so stubbornly to its rather outdated image.

Today, those lines are what make them so desirable. All of the comforts, without sacrificing a classic Jaguar aesthetic. What's not to love? As a result, it's little wonder that folks are still lining up to buy the legendary XJ6 - especially in its luxurious Sovereign trim.

This fine 2005 example was originally a company car for Rolls-Royce, and features an extensive service history - not to mention over £11,000 in spend. It's been meticulously cared for and has made a very capable daily driver for the current keeper.
With a valid MOT until November 2025, this Jaguar is now ready and waiting for the lucky new owner.
