Comments from the seller
This XJ8 is a pleasure to drive, it has 4.0L V8, Factory Sun Roof, electric windows, power seats, 6 Stack CD player, Alarm system, 4 Airbags, ABS brakes, and many more.
It is currently on club plates, which is a cheap way to own a vehicle.
It is well looked after, under a carport. It had a new starter motor fitted in late 2025.
Tyres and brakes are good.
