Highlights
- Low mileage of under 55,000 miles
- Well maintained in salt-free Japan to 2022
- Regularly serviced in UK including recently
- Desirable spec in good colour with 3L V6 engine
- Suspension air pump recently replaced
- Popular facelift X350 model
The Appeal
The X350 was the last of the heritage-inspired XJs, but unlike earlier versions, beneath the classic lines lay thoroughly modern technology. Constructed from lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminium, equipped with air suspension and powered by new engines, these cars mix traditional design cues with new levels of Jaguar handling and ride.
A mid-life facelift delivered the X350 with lightly modified aesthetics and improved electronics. This example is a low mileage one in a very desirable specification, including the powerful yet economical 3L V6 petrol engine. Classically finished in silver with an ivory leather cabin, it spent most of its life in Japan before arriving back here in 2022. Canny buyers will know that is good news because Japan doesn’t salt its roads and is renowned for its high maintenance standards.
That level has been maintained in the UK. The history file shows a run of regular servicing exactly when required plus additional work including a new air suspension pump. It holds current MOT to the end of May.
The car wears its low miles and 19 years exceptionally lightly and would make a very sumptuous and rewarding daily driver.
