2005 Jaguar XJ8L Sovereign (X350)
Vendor supplied images
Highlights
- Chauffeur-driven car with only 106,545km on the clock (only 66,590 miles)
- Impressive Sovereign level trim in a lesser-spotted long wheelbase car
- 4.2L V8 powerplant with 6-speed automatic transmission
- Recently serviced to a cost of €3,000 ($3,500)
- All taxes are paid
The Appeal
One of the most technically advanced cars of its era, the X350 was loaded with electrical systems, with a self-levelling air suspension and a full, lightweight aluminium unibody and chassis. All of that went equally towards its comfort as it did its performance, and it's to little wonder that it soon became a top pick for those who enjoyed the finer things in life.
This 2005 example is a very luxurious car, with a striking white livery, a handsome interior and that big V8 powerplant still providing an engaging soundtrack. Being previously chauffeur-driven, it is a relatively low-mileage example with only 106,545km (66,590 miles) on the clock, and for our money is a particularly fine specimen of a much-loved modern classic.
