“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.
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.
Arguably Jaguar’s most prolific model, the XJ full-size luxury sedan was made between 1968 and 2019. It’s known as the last model to be personally designed under Sir William Lyons, the founder of Jaguar Cars, and for much of its existence, the XJ stayed true to its core design language. All this changed in 2010, when the X351 generation came to be. Out went the admittedly dated design language and old-school driving dynamics in favor of a total rehash. The looks were sharp and fresh, the driving experience was top-notch and the car’s luxury features took several leaps too. Today, we have one of those fine machines, a 2015 Jaguar XJ Portfolio from Hagerstown, Maryland. With its supercharged V6, Meridian sound system and attractive aftermarket wheels, this 105,974-mile Jaaaag is ideal for you to adopt as your new daily driver.
The 2018 Jaguar XE 25t embodies Jaguar’s approach to the modern compact luxury sport sedan, combining elegant British styling with a driver-focused chassis and turbocharged performance. Showing 50,093 miles, this Narvik Black example offers all-wheel-drive confidence and a refined driving experience that’s equally suited for daily commuting or spirited backroad drives. With its premium appointments, responsive handling, and sophisticated design, the XE remains an appealing alternative to its German luxury sedan rivals.
Jaguar’s XJS spent more than two decades carrying the torch for the legendary E-Type, evolving into one of the most refined grand touring cars of its era. This 1991 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible shows 52,140 miles and represents one of the final years of the facelifted pre-AJR6 V12 models. Finished in elegant Signal Red over a Black interior, this British luxury convertible combines timeless styling, smooth V12 power, and open-air touring capability. With its long hood, pillarless design, and turbine-smooth twelve-cylinder engine, the XJS remains one of the most distinctive grand tourers produced by Jaguar. Today, well-preserved V12 convertibles are increasingly appreciated by collectors for their combination of exclusivity, craftsmanship, and classic British character.
The Jaguar XJ-S was tasked with following one of the most iconic sports cars ever built, the E-Type, and it accomplished that challenge by carving out its own identity as a refined high-speed grand tourer. This 1983 Jaguar XJS Coupe represents one of the finest surviving examples of the model, showing just 14,878 miles from one owner. Finished in elegant Grosvenor Brown over a Biscuit leather interior, this V12-powered Jaguar remains remarkably preserved and is accompanied by its original documentation, a set of OEM factory wheels, and the original factory dual-beam headlights. Combining low ownership, exceptionally low mileage, and a highly original presentation, this XJS offers collectors an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire one of Jaguar’s most sophisticated grand touring coupes from the 1980s.
