1995 STUNNING JAGUAR XJ 4.0 SOVEREIGN, 88K, HUGE SH SOLD

Hi

Welcome to the sale of my stunning Jaguar XJ Sovereign with the more powerful 4. 0 engine.

I bought the car off a cracking mature gentleman local to me. He had bought it from a farmer but his wife (both in their 70's) struggles with her knees so they needed something a little less sleek to drive.

I bought it on condition and service history alone, never mind how it drives!

The service history on the car is absolutely fabulous with 22 stamps in the original book, the first ones until 2003 were all Jaguar main dealer. It's been looked after specialists since and if anything has been over serviced:

1996 - 5, 000 miles
1997 - 11, 000
1998 - 13, 000
1999 - 16, 000
2000 - 19, 000
2002 - 24, 000
2003 - 30, 000
2004 - 40, 000
2005 - 45, 000
2005 - 49, 000
2006 - 51, 000
2006 - 58, 000
2007 - 62, 000
2008 - 66, 000
2009 - 68, 000
2010 - 70, 000
2011 - 71, 000
2012 - 74, 000
2013 - 79, 000
2015 - 83, 000
2018 - 88, 000
2019 - 88, 000

The last service was only a few weeks ago and included Duck Oil Spray to the chassis. It doesn't need it as it's clean as a whistle but the previous owner wanted to preserve the car and always preventatively maintained his pride and joy. It's also had new spark plugs, front tyres, suspension top mounts and anti-roll bar bushes. It has been maintained to an INCREDIBLE standard.

The original Jaguar book pack is present and correct along with the service book, and a ring binder of receipts and old MOT's etc.

It's also just had a fresh MOT with only one single advisory... a chip in the windscreen. That is a staggering feat for a classic car of its age and the MOT history shows it's never once failed and MOT... ever!

As a result of this is drives beautifully. I was staggered when I drove it. The suspension is like a magic carpet with not a single noise, squeak or groan. The steering is tight and faithful with no wander or sloppiness.

The engine is as quiet as can be and produces lots of low down grunt without you having to extend the car. It whispers and delivers like a good butler would!

The gearbox is super smooth too with lovely changes both up and down the gearbox.

If you drove the car and I told you it had done 20, 000 miles you'd believe it such is the quality of the drive.

In terms of the interior it's a lovely place to be. Acres of lovely doeskin hide in fabulous condition (see the pics), lovely deep carpets, lustrous wood abounds many surfaces and the chrome is bright and smooth. The only thing of note in the interior is that it has had a headlining sag fix at some point and some glue has been left on the headlining in the rear cabin, but once you've seen it once you don't notice it again.

The electrics work with no warning lights or issues and even the rear parking sensors work properly!

It's like a time warp inside.

Exterior wise the coach work has a deep shine and looks great. All four arches are great with no bubbling paint or anything which usually goes with the territory with these cars. There are no dings of note, the odd light mark as you'd expect, but it looks like a £10, 000+ car. The roof does need some paint (£250 job) due to some lacquer peel caused by unnecessary human error by someone in the past. I will have this done when my body shop can take the car in (they are very popular and booked up at the minute), or I will reduce the price for you if you take the car as it is before they do the work.

The alloy wheels are all great with no kerbing or corrosion and all the tyres have stacks of tread left (fronts are brand new Pirellis).

I really think for the price it's a cracking buy, and it will no doubt continue to give its next owner reliable and fun motoring for years to come. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to jump in it and drive it down to the South of France, it feels that good.

Put a private plate on the car and your neighbours would never guess how little you paid for it!!

If it helps oil the cogs of a deal I could look at taking your car in PX but only if it's clean with no stories to tell.

Thanks for looking and feel free to get in touch.
