Recently serviced with new tyres and suspension components
One owner for most of its 18 years

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 47,000 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. The current owner has undertaken a light programme of work that's left it in fine order, ready and waiting to be driven away.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
