MOT: T.B.A
By 1989, Jaguar / Daimler had been bought by Ford who changed the engine offerings of the XJ6. Six years later, recognising that its boxy lines could do with a facelift, the company allowed designer Geoff Lawson to adopt a somewhat retro path for the X300 Series version. This line was revised for the last time in 1997, at which point much-praised new, Bridgend-built V8 engines replaced the previous six-cylinder ones - enter the XJ8. The new units were available in 3.2, 4.0 normally aspirated and 4.0-litre supercharged form, the outputs of which ranged from 240bhp to 370bhp. Most other aspects of the handsome big Saloon were also an improvement on those of its predecessor - the ride in particular won many plaudits.
Finished in Silver with a Cream parchment hide interior, ‘AL02 AEL’ is warranted to have covered just 14,800 miles and has been owned by just a husband and wife from new. The Jaguar pleasingly retains its original bookpack, handbooks and well-stamped service book plus 3 keys. Described by the vendor as being in ‘excellent’ condition with regards to its 3.2 litre engine, automatic transmission, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork, this very smart XJ8 comes with a fresh MOT certificate.
