Highlights
 

  • Only 46,280 miles from new

  • Ex-Japanese import
  • ULEZ compliant
  • High specification includes Bi-Xenon headlamps and touchscreen Sat Nav
  • Attractive livery of Winter Gold with Barley piped hide interior

The Appeal

If there was any modern Jaguar to hit William Lyon's mantra of Grace, Pace and Space, the X358 undoubtedly sits atop it. With its impressive AJV8 powerplant, luxurious cabin and distinctly restrained, graceful styling, it's very much a car with learnings from its elders - refined into a package that offers impressive speeds and plenty of creature comforts.

It's little wonder that they became so popular overseas, too. Japanese imports are often particularly desirable as there's no salt on the roads over there, and maintenance regimes are a strict way of life. The result is that an ex-Japanese X358 is almost certain to be a fine, fine, car. 

This handsome 2008 example boasts a very attractive colour scheme and interior combo. Couple that in with an enviably low 46,280 miles on the clock, plenty of time on its MOT, and a comprehensive service. The vendor is also providing a one-year Nationwide Warranty. It's obvious that this is a car that's earned plenty of confidence, and we're sure the lucky buyer will be delighted.
