Lot 18
 

1997 Jaguar XJ Executive
***NO RESERVE*** Low indicated mileage of just 48,641 miles

Registration – R382 NGF

Chassis No. – SAJJFALG3BP812129

M.O.T. – June 2027

Odometer – 48,641

low-mileage X300 benefiting from recent mechanical and underside attention

Registered in 1997, this Jaguar XJ Executive is presented in an attractive shade of light metallic blue, a colour that complements the model’s elegant and timeless lines. Representing the X300 generation, the car embodies Jaguar’s return to traditional styling, combining familiar marque design cues with improved build quality and refinement. The odometer currently displays just 48,545 miles.

Externally, the Jaguar retains the signature quad-headlamp arrangement and sweeping body lines synonymous with the era, while the interior offers the expected combination of leather upholstery and wood veneer, creating the comfortable and quintessentially British environment for which Jaguar saloons of the period remain renowned.

Importantly, the vendor informs us that the car has recently benefited from a useful programme of maintenance and improvement. A small area of welding has been attended to at the nearside front, while the underside has been cleaned and areas treated with underseal. New rear exhaust back boxes have also been fitted.

Mechanical maintenance has included a full service, incorporating replacement spark plugs. The car has subsequently been presented for an MOT and now carries a certificate valid until June 2027.

Power comes from Jaguar’s smooth 3.2-litre straight-six engine, coupled to an automatic transmission – a combination ideally suited to the XJ’s refined grand-touring character and effortless cruising ability.

Produced between 1994 and 1997, the X300 is widely regarded as one of the last traditionally styled Jaguar saloons. More than a quarter of a century later, its combination of graceful styling, six-cylinder refinement and traditional leather-and-wood cabin makes it an increasingly appealing modern classic.

With just 48,545 miles displayed and the benefit of recent servicing, exhaust, underside and MOT attention, this handsome XJ Executive represents an appealing opportunity to acquire a particularly usable example of Jaguar’s traditional sporting saloon.

Summary

  • Low indicated mileage of just 48,645 miles
  • Recently serviced and benefiting from welding, underside treatment and new rear exhaust back boxes
  • Full book pack and service booklet, evidencing meticulous care throughout its ownership and supporting its status as a much-cherished example
  • MOT until June 2027 and offered without reserve
