1998 Jaguar XJ8 Sovereign

Beautiful luxury sedan with V8 from the popular X308 generation. This example has the coveted V8 engine which gives plenty of power and a wonderfully relaxed character to the car.

Swedish-sold car with good history and low miles makes this a good "driver's car" for the enthusiast.

This generation of Jaguar's luxury car would prove to be one of the brand's most successful models. The XJ was offered in various trim levels including Sovereign, Sport, Executive, and XJR. This is a Sovereign which is the highest equipment level with a focus on luxury and comfort. The XJR version also had a lot of equipment but focused more on sport and performance.

Calmly driven luxury "Jag" in mechanically very good condition. Of course, there are minor blemishes related to age and use, but important things such as function and overall condition make this a fantastic value-for-money luxury car that can withstand being used for many more years. A model that has now entered the classic category.
