The seller offers for sale this 2002 Jaguar XJ8 3.2 Sport, powered by a 3.2-litre V8 petrol engine, paired with an automatic transmission. This example is presented in good, original condition and shows an indicated mileage of 269,000 km. The interior offers the classic British luxury the XJ range is known for, with comfortable leather seats and a high-quality finish that creates a warm, traditional ambiance, showing only normal wear consistent with age and mileage. The elegant bodywork retains the timeless lines that have made the XJ series so admired, and the paintwork presents itself neatly, with light traces of use appropriate to the car’s age. The car was first registered on 25 January 2002, comes with a valid inspection and various vehicle records are available through the Dutch RDW.
The XJ8 belongs to the X308 generation, introduced in 1997 as the first XJ saloon to be powered by Jaguar’s then-new AJ-V8 engine family. It retained the graceful, low-slung silhouette that has defined the XJ line since the original 1968 model, while introducing a thoroughly modernised drivetrain and updated interior. The 3.2-litre V8 delivers smooth, quiet performance with effortless shifting from the automatic transmission, providing the powerful yet relaxed driving experience typical of a luxury British saloon. The Sport specification gave the XJ8 a more purposeful character, with sportier detailing and a slightly firmer chassis set-up that sharpened the driving experience without sacrificing the comfort the model is famous for.
The balanced chassis gives the car the light, stable steering and comfortable ride for which the XJ is renowned, making it a fine companion on long journeys as well as relaxed touring drives. Well-kept, original examples of the X308 are becoming increasingly scarce, and this XJ8 3.2 Sport represents an appealing opportunity for the enthusiast or collector who values authenticity, comfort and the characteristic V8 engine in a representative classic saloon.
