Description

The 2004 Jaguar XJ SE with its 3.6-litre V8 delivers a sumptuous, relaxed driving experience — smooth power delivery, composed ride and effortless motorway cruising. Its automatic gearbox and poised chassis make everyday journeys feel refined while the V8 offers a satisfying soundtrack when you ask for it.

Practical and comfortable, this low-mileage example has been carefully maintained with nineteen service stamps and recent works to keep it in great order. The cabin is spacious and quietly finished in leather, making it ideal for long trips or executive use. MOT is valid and the car presents very well for its age.
