Odometer - 84,000

The Jaguar Emerald Green livery of ‘FJ51 UMM’ suits its regal and sophisticated air perfectly. Hailing from September 2001,’FJ51 UMM’ wears Executive badging to differentiate it from the Sport model of the period. The current keeper acquired ‘FJ51 UMM’ in February 2022 at a shade under 84,000 miles. Today, ‘FJ51 UMM’s’ digital odometer reads 84,987, a mileage which is significantly below average for a car of this age. Likewise, the mere four keepers to date. ‘FJ51 UMM’ is an example of the 3.2 litre, AJ-V8 equipped cars mated to the five speed ZF automatic transmission. Offered with NO RESERVE and last MOT’d in June 2022 at 83,996 miles, ‘FJ51 UMM’ represents an attainable example of the esteemed X308 saloon.

The X308 Jaguar XJ saloon looks very similar to its predecessor and exhibits significant amounts of XJ DNA dating back to the first iteration. The main changes for the X308 model were the all new (for the saloon) AJ-V8 engines and an updated cabin. ‘FJ51 UMM’ sports a very “XJ-appropriate” livery of Jaguar Emarald Green with plenty of brightwork embellishments. Sought-after originality is a key facet of ‘FJ51 UMM’s’ appeal as demonstrated by its original set of 16-inch Starburst alloy wheels. These are fitted with a mixed set of tyres with the front pair date stamped from 2022 and the rears undated. The external condition appears good overall with just the odd age related imperfection noted.

The interior is luxuriously appointed and generously commodious. Seeming acres of Ivory hued leather, Sable carpets and accents and polished veneers are the order of the day. The front seats are electrically operated and exhibit a degree of use related patina. The X308 benefitted from an upgrade to the recessed instruments from the XK8 and those in ‘FJ51 UMM’ add a touch of sporting flavour to its otherwise luxury focussed ambiance. Cruise control, air conditioning and a multi-CD changer help to make ‘FJ51 UMM’ a well specified example too. Some original books are present but little else in the way of paperwork.

In summary:

· A sensible original mileage and low owner count for its age

· A high level of desirable originality

· Presenting in an attractive and appropriate livery
