The Appeal

It's hard to deny that the X350 was amongst the last truly thoroughbred Jaguars - with a nostalgic design that seemed to defy the modern zeitgeist while concealing technology that was bang up-to-date and packed with creature comforts. It's little wonder, then, that today they're in high demand - it's arguably the classiest a 21st-century Jag has ever looked.

Of course, if you wanted to exceed even the X350's handsome specification, you could always go Daimler. Daimler Super Eights were uniquely palatial - with handsome wood trims, piped leather upholstery and a special edition grille - not to mention just about every box ticked on the option list.

This example comes to us in good overall order, and has only recently been imported from Japan - where no salt is dumped on the roads and vehicle maintenance has been refined to a fine art. The fabulous saloon has a full-service history from its time in Japan, confirming a true mileage of some 95,784 miles. The instrument cluster/speedo has been changed for an mph version and it now reads 67,344 miles.

If there was any Super Eight to purchase, it's undeniable that this one has everything going for it. It's a smart, understated saloon loaded with comfort, with an enviable specification and a valid, advisory-free MOT until June 2025.
