The seller offers for sale this 1997 Jaguar XJ8 3.2 Executive, powered by a 3.2-litre V8 petrol engine, paired with an automatic transmission. The indicated mileage is 213,000 km. As an Executive, this XJ8 represents the classic Jaguar saloon formula: graceful, low-slung styling with four round headlamps, a long flowing bonnet and a cabin trimmed in the traditional Jaguar manner, where wood veneer and comfortable seating create the club-room atmosphere for which the marque is famous.
The X308 generation, launched in 1997, marked a milestone for Jaguar as the first XJ saloon to be powered by a V8 engine. The all-new AJ-V8 in 3.2-litre form combines smooth, quiet running with ample performance, and the automatic transmission suits the car’s relaxed long-distance character perfectly. The X308 retained the elegant proportions of its predecessor while introducing a thoroughly modernised interior and numerous detail improvements, and it is increasingly recognised as a future classic from the last era of traditionally styled Jaguar saloons.
These cars offered remarkable refinement for their price when new, and today an early XJ8 3.2 represents a great deal of classic Jaguar motoring in an accessible package. With its V8 smoothness, timeless looks and strong club and parts support, it is an inviting choice for anyone looking to step into Jaguar ownership.
