BODYWORK:

THE QUARTZ GREY PAINTWORK IS IN LARGELY FAULTLESS CONDITION WITH THE ODD CHIP THAT HAS BEEN TOUCHED IN RATHER HEAVILY, ALSO A COUPLE OF VERY SMALL CAR PARKING DINKS. THE DRIVERS SIDE CHROME MIRROR COVER HAS A 3MM CHIP OUT OF IT. I MUST STRESS THIS IS AN EXTREMELY BRIGHT, PRESENTABLE VEHICLE BUT I DO LIKE TO DESCRIBE MY CARS ONLINE AS HONESTLY AS POSSIBLE. IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO RUST WHATSOEVER TO ANY OF THE PROBLEM AREAS NORMALLY ASSOCIATED WITH X300/ X308 SUCH AS SILLS AND LOWER FRONT WINGS. THERE ARE 2 SMALL AREAS OF CORROSION BELOW THE REAR SCREEN BUT TOO SMALL TO BE NOTICEABLE IN PHOTOGRAPHS.

INTERIOR:

AS WITH ALL DAIMLERS THE INTERIOR OF THIS X308 IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO BE. IVORY LEATHER WITH CONTRAST PIPING, THE LEATHER HAS BEEN FED CONSTANTLY OVER TIME SO HAS NO SIGNS OF CRACKING/ SCUFFING AS CAN BE SEEN IN THE PICTURES. THE HEADLINING ALSO SHOWS NO SIGNS OF DROPPING/ SAGGING AS USUALLY BEMOANS THIS MODEL. ALL THESE CARS HAVE A HIGH SPECIFICATION AS STANDARD AS LISTED ABOVE, THIS EXAMPLE ALSO HAS THE REAR PASSENGER COMPARTMENT SEAT ADJUSTMENT TO ENABLE REAR SEAT PASSENGERS TO STRETCH OUT WHILST CHAUFFERED AND USE THE PRIVACY TELEPHONE HANDSET!

SERVICE HISTORY:

WE ARE IN POSSESSION OF ALL THE ORIGINAL HANDBOOKS, LEATHER WALLET/ SERVICE BOOK ASWELL AS THE VHS VIDEO THAT JAGUAR GAVE ALL CUSTOMERS TO EXPLAIN THE HANDOVER PROCEDURE (BEFORE DVD!!) THE CAR HAS EARLY SERVICE HISTORY WITH JAGUAR MAIN DEALER AND MOT HISTORY SINCE THEN, ACCORDING TO THE DECEASED OWNERS WIFE HE ALSO HAD IT REGUARLY SERVICED AT THE SAME TIME AS ALL OF HIS MOTS, WHICH IS HIGHLIGHTED BY THE FANTASTIC MECHANICAL AND COSMETIC CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE.

THE CAR IS FULLY HPI CLEAR AND I AM CONFIDENT IT IS AS GOOD AS YOU WILL FIND IF NOT THE BEST YOU WILL FIND WITHOUT SPENDING IN EXCESS OF £10000.

WE COLLECTED THIS VEHICLE FROM THE MIDLANDS AT THE WEEKEND AND IT DROVE 160 MILES HOME WITHOUT FAULT.

AN RAC/ AA/ MECHANICAL INSPECTION MORE THAN WELCOME.

THANKS FOR LOOKING.
