The Appeal


Introduced at a time when the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C Class seemed to be king, the Jaguar X-Series held its own via a beguiling, classical tone to its styling. Introduced in 2003, the X350 continued the trend as the first Jaguar built during Ford ownership, with lightweight all-aluminium construction and a series of new, impressive powerplants matching up with its inimitably luxurious cabins.
This specific 2006 diesel X350, in its top-notch Sovereign spec, is a superb example of the breed. With only 49,000 miles on the clock and a full service history included in the sale, this car has been cherished and well-maintained - and comes to us in fine fettle. 
Originally owned by Jaguar as a demo vehicle, this X350 was then kept in one ownership kept it until 2023 and then by its second in 2024. The current owner has undertaken a light programme of work that's left it in fine order, ready and waiting to be driven away.
