Description
Bought 3 years ago from a local dealer with 105, 000 miles on the clock and a fully stamped service book with much of the accompanying paperwork.
I had the 100, 000 mile full service done (including change of plugs), and a full gearbox service (as there was no supporting paperwork for these), put two new rear tyres on and got a more recent DVD for the satnav. Since then it has since been maintained and serviced at Jaguar specialists to make sure it's mechanically spot on, with stamps and paperwork to support all work. Recent replacement of the front pedestrian sensors and parking sensor unit.
The car drives very well indeed, just as it should. Comfortable as a motorway cruiser then taut and exciting on more twisty A and B roads, and the engine, chassis and suspension are all good. Everything electrical works as far as I know.
The interior of the car is very good - no cracking on the seats everything is nice and clean. I have additional plastic mat in the driver's side to protect the original mat, as well as a boot liner.
The exterior is not cosmetically perfect, as you can see in the photographs and would expect for a car with this mileage. Some cracking of the lacquer in places, there is a little bit of gravel rash on the sills, touched in, one or two stone chips which have been touched in, and the alloy wheels are not perfect.
Private plate included. This was bought as my daily driver and I have absolutely loved owning and driving it. My regular commute was 2 days/ week to offices about 100 miles away, plus shorter visits to friends, airports, local shopping trips etc. and the car never let me down or failed to bring a smile to my face. It always gets noticed in the car park, there aren't a lot about and everyone everyone likes them. Put it in sport mode and it's a vastly more capable car than I am a driver and it really, really, wants to play.
It isn't a showroom queen - if you're after an immaculate vehicle to take to the pub on a summer evening and keep in concourse condition there are other cars on this site. But if you want a car that you can get in and drive anywhere, really enjoy the engineering, and not be precious about, then this is what you're looking for. It wouldn't take a lot to get it cosmetically perfect either.
Why am I selling? My intention was always to only own it for three years or so, and I need a car with more load space for band equipment. If I had the garage space I would keep it. I'll miss it terribly and I'm sure I'll own another.
Price dropped, open to offers.
