In 2003, Jaguar introduced the re-engineered and newly designed third generation of the XJ, continuing with the XJ8 model designation. It featured an all-aluminium body and chassis, a new V8 engine, as well as greater interior and luggage spaces. It was the first Jaguar XJ to be completely designed under Ford ownership and used electronics and computer-controlled systems sourced through existing partner suppliers or directly produced by Ford. The V8 engine was offered in larger 3.5 and 4.2 litre displacements as well in a supercharged variation. A new six-speed automatic gearbox was fitted which was lighter and offered better economy with lock-up on all gears and a larger spread of ratios.
Air suspension was fitted at the front and rear, providing adaptive damping as well as rear self-levelling with computer-controlled ride height and suspension mode. Jaguar launched the X358 facelift to the X350 at the end of February 2007 with a revised lower grille, prominent faux side air vents, small boot lid spoiler, and revised seating. A Jaguar emblem within the grille replaced the previous bonnet-mounted mascot. The front lights were revised and door mirrors incorporated side repeaters. The side sills, rear bumper, and taillights were revised while the interior featured redesigned front seats.
This stunning example of the 4.2 litre V8 XJR was first registered on 3rd July 2008, it is presented in Pearl Grey metallic coachwork with a contrasting tan full leather interior. Optional four zone climate control was specified taking the then purchase price to £60,437. Our vendor has owned this car since the Summer of 2022 and has covered circa 5,000 miles since then, he has also maintained the car regardless of cost. Within the history file, we find details of recent services from Sytner in September 2022 and by Jaguar Specialists Horner & Hudsons of Cheshire in May 2024 which included a health check and two new track rod ends.
These are fabulous motorcars, 400bhp, 0-60 in five seconds and in luxury and style, this low mileage example is a future classic and a current favourite of ours. Consigned by Mathew Priddy
