The X308 provides exactly what you would want from a four-door Jaguar, it's comfortable, grand and can shift if it needs to. The car's recent maintenance, carried out by a Jaguar main dealer, really adds appeal, no expense spared when it came to getting this car ready for the road, in fact, the car was never intended to be sold, but a change of circumstance has resulted in the car now being
offered. It's very well presented and a great car for anyone looking to experience the pure brilliance of a classic, luxury Jaguar. When it comes to powerful, luxurious and comfortable saloons, Jaguar has been at the forefront for decades. Experts at balancing exemplary interiors with capable mechanics, Jaguar has produced some of the finest cars for both driver and passenger since 1922. The XJ was first introduced in 1968 as their flagship four-door saloon and reigned in multiple renditions up until 2019 where after 51 years, production finally came to a halt.
Between 1998-2003, Jaguar's portrayal of their famous model was displayed in just as much grandeur, the X308 provided the usual stately appearance and compelling performance with additional modern equipment. The Sovereign model, like this 1998 variant, represents the highest luxury specification available, featuring more lavish interior trims and high-quality materials.
This long wheelbase model has been kept in fine order, with both the exterior and interior being presented well.
