2001 Jaguar XJ8 3.2 Executive 4-door Auto Saloon Petrol

Description

So, I’ve been looking after this 2001 Jaguar XJ8 for a few years now — it’s one of the last proper XJ models before they went all modern, and honestly, it’s still a joy to drive. Only 87,747 miles from new, five owners total, and every service is properly documented. I’ve kept it well, with all the original bits still in great shape.

It’s a solid V8 — 3.2L, DOHC, fuel injection, 237bhp — not flashy, but smooth and reliable. The interior’s full leather, heated screen, electric seats, and climate control are all still working like they did when I first got it. Features like central locking, electric windows, heated mirrors, cruise control, trip computer, satellite nav, and 17-inch alloy wheels are all there. Rear parking sensors too — useful for parking in tight spots.

I’ve kept it clean and low-mileage for the most part, so it’s in great condition both inside and out. The car still feels like it’s got that classic Jaguar grace, space, and pace — the old motto, you know?

I’ve been in the motoring game for over 30 years — my partner and I both grew up around cars. We’ve owned everything from a Ford Anglia to a Ducati Desmosedici and a Ferrari 458. We didn’t just work in the industry — we lived it. Now, Auto Union is where we keep our collection and share it with people who really appreciate the feel and history of classic machines.

This one’s not just a car — it’s a piece of a bygone era. Prices have started climbing lately, and more people are seeing how special these old XJs really are. I’d say it’s a real keeper, and I’m happy to show it around.
