DESCRIPTION
One owner from new, 49,500 miles and a full Jaguar service history...delivered new to our vendor, the car's first and only registered keeper, on the 1st April 1998, this XJ8 (X308) has been meticulously maintained ever since. It has been regularly serviced by the supplying dealers, Grange Jaguar of Welwyn with the most recent at 46,313 miles on the 28th November 2014 at a cost of £4,693. Passing its MOT every year since 2006 with no advisories, according to online records, the car has a current MOT valid until April 2017.
It is rare to find such an eminently drivable luxury saloon with such low mileage, a detailed service record and just one owner from new. A future classic, if we have ever seen one, in the lovely colour combination of Sapphire Blue with Ivory leather and offered at No Reserve.
