The seller offers for sale this 2000 Jaguar XJ8 4.0, powered by a 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine, paired with an automatic transmission. This XJ8 is finished in a light metallic exterior colour over a light leather interior with generous wood veneer, giving the cabin the warm, club-like atmosphere for which Jaguar’s flagship saloons are renowned. The odometer indicates 258,000 km. As the photographs show, the car presents the classic long, low XJ silhouette with its four round headlamps and elegant chrome detailing, while the interior offers the comfort and equipment expected of a luxury saloon from this era.

The X308-generation XJ was introduced in 1997 and was a milestone for Jaguar, as it was the first XJ to be powered by the company’s then-new AJ-V8 engine. The 4.0-litre V8 combined smooth, effortless performance with refinement, and the XJ8 quickly earned a reputation as one of the most comfortable luxury saloons of its time. The X308 was also the final XJ to carry the traditional low-slung body style that traces its lineage directly back to the original 1968 XJ6, which makes it a significant model for enthusiasts of the marque.

As a usable modern classic, an XJ8 of this generation offers a great deal of car for the money: V8 power, a beautifully trimmed interior and timeless styling that still turns heads today. It is an appealing choice for anyone looking to enjoy classic Jaguar luxury in everyday traffic.
