Jaguar’s XJ production line has been around since 1968. This was extended for several consecutive years, but finally ended in the year 2019. Throughout these decades, many varying versions have been released. It first started with the Series 1. After this came both the Series 2 and the Series 3. What followed was another designation. These were the X series. The first one was called the XJ40. Then came several more models called the X300, X308, X350, X358 and finally the X351. An electric model of the XJ was also in the planning, but ultimately did not make it to production. The model in question was the X350 line. These were produced from 2003-2007. It was offered with a 3.0L V6, 3.5L V8, 4.2L V8, 4.2L supercharged V8 or a 2.7L V6 diesel engine.

In 2004, this Jaguar XJ 2.4 V8 Executive was originally delivered in Luxembourg. After spending its time here, it continued its adventure in Germany. This also continued for a while, until it recently entered Dutch borders, and was first registered in the Netherlands on 21 September 2023.

The technology has always been carefully maintained and the engine runs beautifully as a result. The V8 petrol engine has a capacity of 4.2 litres, has 298 hp and is naturally coupled to an automatic transmission. Thanks to its aluminium chassis and body, the car weighs just 1584 kilos and is more nimble than its size would initially suggest. The brakes and suspension are wonderfully tuned for comfort and more than up to the task.

The tasteful and rare colour scheme is the beautiful ‘Racing green pearl’ it a ‘Sand’ leather interior. The picture is complete with the beautiful walnut trim on the dashboard and door panels. Also, be sure to check out the details like the leather handles on the headliner!

That this is a luxury limousine is clear from the moment you get in. The audio system is of a high quality, the climate control is fully automatic, the seats have multiple electrical adjustments with memory function, electrically adjustable pedals and steering wheel, the xenon lighting has an automatic light switch, cruise control, seat heating and an electric sunblind on the rear window. The car comes complete with 2 original spare keys, instruction booklets and completed service booklet.

Fantastically driving and in good condition Jaguar XJ8 4.2 in the very complete Executive trim. Because of its age, this Jaguar is very suitable for entrepreneurs to drive as a youngtimer in connection with the low additional tax on cars of 15 years and older.
