Description

This Jaguar XJ8 LWB delivers the composed, serene driving experience you expect from a classic Jaguar. The long-wheelbase chassis soaks up motorway miles with effortless refinement, while the relaxed steering and smooth automatic transmission make daily driving and longer tours equally enjoyable. The car feels planted and reassuring, with a calm character that rewards relaxed driving.

Practical in its own elegant way, the spacious cabin offers generous rear accommodation and a quiet, comfortable environment for passengers. Finished in silver, this XJ8 is an appealing, usable classic with a present MOT and a strong feel of everyday usability and presence.
