1997 Sovereign LWB XJ8 SOLD

With the introduction of the X308 generation in 1997 came a switch from the XJ6 and XJ12 nomenclature to XJ8, reflecting the fact that the X308 cars were powered by a new V8 engine.

The exterior styling of the X308 was similar to the X300 with minor refinements such as a change to oval indicator lenses and round fog lights. The interior was also updated to eliminate the instrument binnacle used on the X300; instead, three large gauges were set into recesses in the walnut-faced dashboard in front of the driver.

The major mechanical change was the replacement of both the inline-six and V12 engines with new eight-cylinder AJ-V8 in either 3. 2 L or 4. 0 L versions. No manual transmission was available, and all X308 models were supplied with a five-speed automatic gearbox. The gearbox on this car has had a full
overhaul cost of £2500

This car has been well looked after with service record. It is the top spec car for the year in terms of luxury. With sunroof. With the powerful 4. 0lt V8 engine. Silky smooth. It has been to Jaguar and classic car shows in the North while in my ownership and is for sale because I am reducing my car collection. The car has never let me down. Mot to 18. 9. 18
This has got to be the best value for money of current classics. They are not expensive to run using classic insurance. You will get a reasonable M. P. G. on a run.
