“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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
For those seeking a European luxury car, the default options from Mercedes-Benz and BMW spring to mind. Audi and Volvo are there too. But what if you want something British? Well, that’s where the Jaguar XJ comes into the fray. The XJ model came about in 1968, and was the last Jag to have been designed by the company’s founder, Sir William Lyons. For decades, the XJ was known to retain old-school charm and styling cues, until a totally new design debuted in 2010. Called the X351 generation, this was a remarkable departure from the template and really raised eyebrows. Soon enough, people realized that the X351 was a fine car that totally improved in nearly every way over its predecessor, and really took the luxury car fight to the Germans. Today, we’ve got a 2017 Jaguar XJR for sale from Cincinnati, Ohio, with a scant 13,689 miles to its name. Oh, and supercharged machine has recently received a service.
One of the prettiest cars in the world, the Jaguar E-Type was so breathtaking when it launched in 1961 that it reportedly was able to even captivate the heart of Enzo Ferrari! Called the XK-E for the North American market, it was made between 1961 and 1974 and offered in coupe and convertible variants. Purists argue that the coupe is the better looking of the two, and if you’d like to join in the discussion, why not get some ammo? Here’s a 1967 Jaguar XK-E Coupe for sale from Cincinnati, Ohio. It’s a wonderful specimen of one of the most prolific cars of the Sixties and is an excellent future investment too.
This 1982 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas represents the most luxurious specification available for the Series III XJ line, delivering British craftsmanship at its finest. Wearing a sleek black exterior over a beige Connolly leather cabin, it showcases the dignified proportions and Pininfarina-influenced styling that defined the era. The 4.2L EFI inline-6 provides the smooth, refined power Jaguar is known for, paired with a relaxed 3-speed automatic for effortless cruising. As the Vanden Plas flagship, this example elevates comfort, exclusivity, and finish quality far beyond the standard XJ6, making it an excellent choice for collectors or enthusiasts seeking a classic luxury sedan with true pedigree.
Jaguar Cars is going through a transition these days, and no-one seems to quite know what’s coming up next by them. No worries though, as they’ve got a long back catalogue of Greatest Hits for their fans to pick from. Today, we have one of their modern sports coupes for sale, in the shape of this 2017 Jaguar F-Type S British Design Edition. Coming with under 35,000 miles and a spicy supercharged engine, this British Design Edition example hails from Austin, Texas. Widely considered to be one of Jaguar’s finest modern sports cars, the F-Type was also a stellar sales success, with over 87,000 units sold by the time production ceased in June 2024. That means this car will only get more and more desirable as time goes by.
Selecting an Aston Martin as your next vehicle shows that you are a certain sort of person. The type that appreciates British design and sports car engineering, and most likely, a James Bond fan at heart too. This iconic British automaker has had a long association with Ian Fleming’s superspy, in film at least. In the books, Bond is a Bentley man, but when the films were being produced, Aston Martin became the selected vehicle of Mr. Bond. In fact, you can find Aston Martins in over half of the Bond films produced to date. Today’s Aston Martin of choice is a 2020 Aston Martin DB11 Volante from Fort Myers, Florida. The DB11 debuted 2016 and was made until 2023, in coupe and convertible (Volante) forms. This particular example packs a twin-turbo V8 and just under 6,100 miles on the clock.
Porsche’s Cayman is the fixed-head coupe variant of the Boxster two-seat mid-engined sports car by Porsche. Introduced in 2005 with the Boxster’s second generation, the Cayman has become a fine choice for those who want to experience the Porsche lifestyle, but prefer a metal roof over a canvas one. Here, we have a 2014 Porsche Cayman from the third generation of the Boxster/Cayman legacy up for sale in Mechanicsville, Virginia. This example has done just over 23,000 miles and features a fine flat six paired with an automatic transmission for an easy drive.
This 2015 BMW i8 stands out as a coveted early-production example equipped with the top-tier Pure Impulse World package, making it one of the most premium configurations available. Finished in Crystal White Pearl Metallic w/ Frozen Blue Accents, it carries the most iconic i8 look while pairing it with the Pure Impulse Carum Spice Full Perforated Leather interior—BMW’s highest interior specification for the model year. The combination of hybrid performance, exotic butterfly-door styling, and a $150K original MSRP positions this i8 as a futuristic grand-touring sports car with a luxury-focused package rarely seen on standard trims.
