The Gold Cup Classic & Performance Car Auction
2002 Jaguar XJ8 Sport
*** NO RESERVE *** Desirable late-model example with only 64,000 miles
Registration - EJ02 MJE
Chassis No. - SAJAC12L92KF56022
M.O.T. - August 2024
Odometer - 64,000
This 2002 Jaguar XK8 is offered in a modern and elegant combination of light blue metallic paint with light grey leather interior. Notably, this is one of the last X308-generation Jaguar XJ models, with the car being replaced later in 2002 with the aluminium X350 version. This makes it desirable amongst enthusiasts, particularly as it comes with the charismatic 3.2-litre V8 that combines perfectly with a creamy automatic transmission. Adding to the appeal is 'EJ02 MJE’s odometer reading of 64,000 miles. The vendor has owned the car for seven years, and reports it comes with a very comprehensive history file – “it has been well looked after throughout its time”. The car even comes with its original leather Jaguar service wallet, which shows a reassuring patina as evidence of plentiful maintenance over the years. The engine, transmission and electrics are all described as being in ‘excellent’ condition, while the bodywork, paintwork and interior are said to all be in ‘good’ condition too.
The fabled X308-generation Jaguar XJ8 was introduced in 1997 as the third and final iteration of the 1986 Jaguar XJ40 architecture. While it was visually similar to the previous X300 generation, it gained new Jaguar independent rear suspension and, most notably, a home-grown new AJ-V8 engine, replacing the previous in-line six-cylinder engines. It also received a brand-new interior, similar to that of the new Jaguar XK8 GT car. Contemporary reviewers almost universally agreed that Jaguar had produced a world-class luxury saloon, and it went on to be a well-loved and popular range of cars right up until it was succeeded by the aluminium-bodied X350 Jaguar XK in 2002.
In summary:
· Desirable late-model X308 Jaguar XJ
· Comprehensive history file
· Elegant combination of light blue metallic paint and light grey interior
