“That’s the best Jag, probably, ever made” – Jeremy Clarkson on the X308 XJ. He was talking about the XJR there, but it’s a sentiment that can be applied to the entire X308 lineup. The Vanden Plas was the top-of-the-range model sold in the US (equivalent to the Daimler that was made for other markets). They came with softer suspension, all the luxury features and options, and Vanden Plas trim and badging. The X308 often tends to get confused with the X300, which is quite understandable. The visual differences are minimal, with the major changes being the new dashboard, bumpers, and engine options.
Exterior and Interior
White on tan is a classic color combination for a vehicle of this category. Being a Vanden Plas, it comes with more chrome than the lower spec XJ8s (including chrome door mirrors and body side moldings), and this one even has polished chrome wheels. All this chrome works well with the white exterior to achieve the old-school limo appearance. The tan leather interior and generous use of wood trim also contribute to this. Even the steering wheel is made of wood and leather, with the roaring Jaguar embossed in the center. There’s no question of unnecessarily large touchscreens on this car; every function has a tactile button. Some of the significant changes in the new dashboard include the new gauge cluster and the addition of a glovebox (which was not seen in XJs since the XJ40 got airbags). As a Vanden Plas, it also has wooden picnic tables for the rear passengers, and front passenger seat controls for the rear. This car is also equipped with a sunroof, heated mirrors, cruise control, keyless door locks, and a 9-speaker sound system. The owner also states that a backup beep sensor has been installed.
Engine
A big part of a Jag is the power unit under the hood. The inline-six and V12 were discontinued with the X300, and the X308 was Jaguar’s first V8-only model. It came with a choice of 3.2L, 4.0L NA, and 4.0SC engines (only the 4.0 options were available in the US market). This car has the naturally aspirated 4.0 with a 5-speed automatic. The seller reports that servicing is up to date and that this car has only 64,571 miles on it. It also comes with two keys.
The 2006 Jaguar XJ8 L represents the classic Jaguar approach to luxury sedans, combining traditional British craftsmanship with modern performance and comfort. As the long-wheelbase variant of the XJ lineup, the XJ8 L provides additional rear passenger space while maintaining the refined driving dynamics expected from Jaguar’s flagship sedan. Finished in Slate with a Dove Grey interior, this example features elegant wood trim, premium audio, navigation, and rear-seat amenities that highlight its executive-focused character. Showing 55,782 miles, this XJ8 L offers a distinctive blend of V8 performance, understated styling, and old-world luxury.
A car for those with a desire to be different, this X350-generation 2006 Jaguar XJ Super V8 Portfolio is a 2006 car with styling and atmosphere that can be traced back to 1968. It’s from Jaguar’s XJ full-size luxury car line-up, and wears a sleek Black Cherry coat over a Dark Chocolate interior. The car is fantastic to travel in, for those who covet old-school British luxury but demand some modern features as well. Plus, thanks to its 4.2-liter supercharged V8, it’s also pretty sweet to drive! If you’d like to own this 96,000-mile beauty, it’s up for grabs in Flagler Beach, Florida.
British luxury automaker Jaguar’s top-tier offering in the sedan space was their iconic XJ model. Made from 1968 to 2019, the XJ maintained a rather similar design ethos for much of its life. This meant that even models from the Nineties, although thoroughly modernized, didn’t look too far removed from their forefathers. All this changed in 2010, with the X351 generation. This era saw everything about the XJ given a full rebirth, from the styling to the mechanicals and everything else too. Suddenly, the XJ had shed its “old person” looks and started attracting new demographics as well. So, if you’re shopping for a pre-owned luxury car, this 2012 Jaguar XJ from Texas is a great choice. With its sumptuous interior, snarling V8 and just under 14,000 miles done, it’s a veritable bargain. The current owner says that the owner’s manual and two keys are included with the sale.
The 2011 Jaguar XK Convertible represents a distinctive era of Jaguar grand touring, pairing elegant British styling with a naturally aspirated V8 and an open-top layout designed for long-distance cruising as much as spirited driving. This example is finished in Caviar over a Warm Charcoal interior with a Black convertible soft top, a combination complemented by Ivory contrast stitching and Burl Walnut veneer trim. It also features 20-inch “Kasuga” multi-spoke alloy wheels and Jaguar’s hood leaper ornament, giving the car an especially classic Jaguar presentation. Showing approximately 138,756 miles, this XK offers the traditional formula of a front-mounted V8, rear-wheel drive, and a luxurious two-door convertible body.
The 2000 Jaguar XK8 Convertible captures the elegant grand-touring character that made Jaguar’s XK series so distinctive at the turn of the millennium. Showing 52,123 miles, this example is finished in Topaz Metallic over an Oatmeal leather interior with a beige convertible soft top. Its specification blends classic British luxury with desirable period equipment, including burl walnut interior trim, the Alpine Premium Sound System, a Compact Disc Autochanger, Jaguar Integrated Navigation, and chrome-plated 18-inch wheels. With its long hood, flowing bodywork, and open-top configuration, this XK8 delivers the kind of understated presence that has aged especially well.
The 2002 Jaguar XKR 100 Convertible is a genuinely special version of Jaguar’s X100-generation grand tourer, created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of company founder Sir William Lyons. Limited to just 500 XKR 100 coupes and convertibles worldwide, it combined the already potent supercharged XKR platform with a distinctive package of performance, luxury, and appearance upgrades. This example is finished in the edition-exclusive Anthracite Metallic over Warm Charcoal leather and shows approximately 10,309 miles. With its 370-horsepower supercharged V8, 20-inch BBS Montreal wheels, Brembo brakes, Recaro seating, CATS suspension, factory navigation, and Alpine audio, it delivers the blend of rarity, elegance, and performance that makes the XKR 100 particularly appealing to Jaguar enthusiasts.
