2001 Jaguar XJ-Series XJ8
This is a superb example of an X308 chassis V8 Jaguar. This one owner saloon is a fair weather climate San Francisco native with only 58k original miles. The vehicle shows as well as any proper low mileage luxury sedan should. The Topaz paint shows no sign of sun damage, fading, or pitting, and aside from minor nicks and scratches the 20 year old exterior is as pristine as one could want. The Cashmere leather is original to the car and shows some typical wear associated with age, but not overuse or abuse. The OEM burled walnut trim shows no fading, cracking or sun damage, and the carpets show no abnormal wear. Under the hood, the engine bay is clean and tidy with all factory covers and labels present and no signs of corrosion on the shock towers, core support or against the windscreen apron. The undercarriage shows no sign of inclement weather driving or corrosion, as well. The chrome exterior trim and accessories show no pitting or environmental damage, and mechanically everything shows to be operational. The 4 litre V8 powerplant is solid with no valvetrain noise or smoke at startup. Original owner portfolio and manuals are present as well as one original master key.
Overall this lovely XJ8 is consistent with a low mileage, one-owner, California owned vehicle and will in no way disappoint.
