XJR Super Charged 4.0

The X308 generation of the XJ was the third and final iteration of the XJ40 platform.

I have a great file of documentation accompanying the vehicle. The current and previous V5, current MOT and wad of previous MOTs (which confirm the vehicle's low mileage), the original Workshop Manual on CD-ROM is also present.

I have  have kept a file of receipts and invoices, which detail years of maintenance and servicing, nearly all of it carried out by independent Jaguar specialists. You can see the fact that the car has been well maintained, regardless of cost, for many years.

The interior of the XJ has is very nice, cream leather seats, deep oatmeal carpets and wooden veneer on the dashboard, door-tops, steering wheel and gear selector.

All of the switchgear, brightwork and veneer is in good condition. There are no holes, tears on any of the leather seats.

In 2018, the new headlining fitted. The air-conditioning, electric seats, electric windows and cruise control all functioning as they should. An optional rear-windscreen blind has also been fitted, which is in good condition.

For many years, the X308 has been considered one of Jaguar's most handsome luxury saloons.

The car has metallic black paint. The paintwork is in good condition.

All of the external chrome work is in good condition, the bodywork is solid, straight and in good condition.

Underneath the car looks solid and well cared-for. In 2020, the front subframe was removed, new mounting points welded in, and the whole assembly seam-sealed and undersealed.

The 18'' Asteroid alloys are in reasonable condition.

Jaguar's 4 litre supercharged V8  with Mercedes 5-speed automatic gearbox. Delivers 370bhp to the rear wheels, it offers generous amounts of power and can push the car from 0-60 in 5.6 seconds.

The engine sounds great, and idling smoothly with a nice V8 rumble. I can confirm the car travels well, with smooth suspension and good braking. The documentation confirms that the mechanical aspects of the car have certainly been well looked after, servicing having been carried out at independent specialists for many years. As well as standard servicing, some of the work that has been carried out since 2018 includes: new battery and alternator, new radio, new front and rear brake pads.

All in all, the vehicle is in very good condition mechanically The fact that it has been so well maintained, and has covered relatively few miles.

66,000 miles    MOT till MARCH 2022   FSH
