Jaguar - XJ8 - 2003

GENERAL This 2003 Jaguar XJ8 4.2 V8 is an elegant and exceptionally well-maintained example of the classic British luxury sedan. It is equipped with the naturally aspirated AJ34 V8 producing 300 horsepower and features a modern LPG system installed in November 2022, allowing for significantly reduced running costs. The vehicle has 181,000 kilometers, verified accident-free history, full documentation, and Hungarian registration. Its exterior is finished in the distinctive Copper Bronze Metallic shade, complementing the refined styling typical of Jaguar's XJ series. The VIN number is SAJAA72P73SG09930. BODYWORK AND PAINTWORK The Copper Bronze Metallic paint presents attractively with only minor cosmetic scratches consistent with age. There is no visible rust and the panels align correctly, highlighting that the car has been carefully maintained and not subjected to structural damage. TECHNICAL The Jaguar is powered by a 4.2-liter V8 engine producing 298 horsepower (219 kW), paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The engine runs smoothly, quietly, and powerfully. The transmission shifts as it should, with no hesitation. A modern Prins LPG system was installed in November 2022 and operates fully as intended, featuring a 70-liter tank. The air suspension works properly and the battery was replaced approximately eight months ago. Recent maintenance includes an oil and filter service at 178,500 kilometers, new brake pads, and regular servicing since purchase in August 2022. One note: the car can start heavily at temperatures below 0°C, which is a known characteristic of early V8 XJ models, but it starts normally above freezing. INTERIOR The interior features full leather upholstery paired with classic Jaguar wood veneer trim. The front seats are electrically adjustable, heated, and equipped with memory functions. The rear seats are heated as well. Dual-zone automatic climate control works correctly. All electronic systems, including the premium factory sound system, multifunction steering wheel, electric windows and mirrors, cruise control, and front and rear parking sensors, function as intended. The overall state of the interior reflects careful use and preservation. DOCUMENTS The car comes with complete documentation, verified accident-free history, correct Hungarian registration, and clear service history including LPG documentation. PICKUP The vehicle is ready for pickup and can be driven immediately. It operates reliably on petrol and LPG, making it suitable for long-distance travel or everyday use. OTHER INFORMATION The Jaguar sits on 18-inch alloy wheels and is equipped with almost new 235/50 R18 summer tires. Thanks to the modern LPG system, running costs remain significantly lower than expected for a V8 luxury sedan, without compromising performance or comfort. This XJ8 is ideal for drivers seeking classic British elegance, refined V8 driving characteristics, low running costs, and a well-preserved example of Jaguar’s iconic model line.
