2009 Jaguar X358 XJ8 Sovereign

- Full service history with recent service
- MOT to July 2025
The Appeal
This car is one of the last of the classically styled XJ saloons ever built. Bookending a svelte profile that began in 1968, this Onxy Pearl metallic X358 Sovereign has preserved those looks thanks to its very low mileage.
It is a high specification car that has covered less than 36,000 miles from new. That is supported by a full record of maintenance from new.
The car arrived on UK shores in the summer and has had just one registered keeper since. The X358 is well regarded by enthusiasts because its clever, lightweight - and corrosion-resistant - aluminium construction imbues it with the agile handling and economy of a far smaller car.
This well kept 300bhp 4.2L V8 is usefully ULEZ compliant so could be used as a stylish daily or there is obvious commercial scope thanks to the rare colour scheme. A long MOT to July 2025 underlines the impressive condition.
