LONG WHEEL BASE 2001 ‘Y’ REGISTRATION
TOPAZ METALLIC
MAGNOLIA PIPED LEATHER
LONG MOT
105K LOW MILES
GOOD SERVICE HISTORY For sale is a rather rare, late model Jaguar XJ 4.0 Sovereign Long Wheel Base. Owned by a friend since 2016, it has been looked after and serviced annually. Last Service and MOT was in November and it has had plenty of money spent over the years.

Really does put modern cars to shame and you can appreciate how nice this would have been when it was new. It has the later AJ-V8 engine with the uprated timing chains and tensioners: AJV8 / 3996 cc / V8 / 290 BHP / 30+ MPGStarts first turn of the key. Idles in the correct manner. No fluid leaks. No overheating. Pulls hard all the way to the red line. Has a very good turn of pace and will keep accelerating smoothly way beyond licence losing speeds. Jaguar’s ‘J-Gate’ 5 Speed Gearbox is smooth and changes gear effortlessly. Sports Mode engages as it should. The suspension is smooth and composed, ironing out all bad road surfaces. The car gives a magic carpet ride. Slight knocking from rear anti roll bar links. Good tyres all round with decent tread. Brakes seem fine and stop the big cat well. The exhaust is solid with no leaks or blows. Generally in very good condition for the year. Marks, blemishes and stone chips as to be expected. Small dent underneath OSR light, front wing has light bubbling and a few scuffs on the bumpers. One fog lamp needs replacing. No major rust or rot and the lacquer is in good order. Cleans up well, as per the photos. Interior is in good condition, with no rips or tears. A few marks on the leather, but these should clean out. The cabin of this era XJ is a pleasant place to be. With is being a long wheel base model, it has ample room in the rear. The standard wheel base models are as spacious at the back as you would expect, but no problem with this one. You can even move the front passenger seat forward if you fancy extra room, via the electric buttons. It has 3 keys, including the green valet key. IT also has 2 remote fobs, but these require new batteries or re-syncing with the car. Comes with a folder of paperwork, and has been looked after by a Jaguar / Bentley specialist since 2016. It’s a turn key classic which will get you where you need to go with plenty of style and panache. It’s also fun to drive and can be hustled along the back roads if you are in the mood – with almost 300 BHP it’s no slouch! Please call me on 07984 395400 for any further information or to arrange a viewing. Sensible offers considered – space is needed. Silly offers will be ignored. Not many around in this spec, mileage and condition.

RANGE ROVER P38 4.6 HSE
AUTOMATIC
RARE BLENHEIM SILVER
ASH GREY PIPED LEATHER INTERIOR
139K MILES
MOT JULY 2024 Brand New Battery just fitted. New Front and Rear Wiper Blades. Mechanically, the 4.6 Litre 'Thor' engine feels strong. Starts first turn of the key. Idles in the correct manner. Not noticed any oil or coolant leaks. Doesn't use any excess oil or coolant - levels remain constant. No overheating - even on the hottest of days last summer, the temperature gauge gets to the half way mark and sits there all day long. Had an Oil Service last summer. Gearbox goes through the ratios as it should. Low Range also selects. Randomly comes up with Gearbox message, but this is since fitting the new battery and gearbox feels fine to me. The air suspension appears to work correctly. There is a blow on the offside rear exhaust back box. Actually makes it sound rather fruity, especially on cold start. It quietens down once the car has warmed up. Tyres are matching General Grabbers all round with decent tread remaining. In presentable condition for the year. There are a couple of rust spots on the bonnet and a couple on some other panels, but certainly not the usual rot box. Scratches on the paint work from green laning. Selant around the front screen - no leaks. Marks and blemishes as to be expected. This has been used an enjoyed as an off-roader / green lane toy, so please don't expect a concours garage queen! All seems solid underneath. Tow Bar fitted (not used or tested in my ownership). 16" Anthracite Alloy Wheels in decent condition with a diamond polished lip. These look great and really set off the car. Interior is in good order, with a few marks as to be expected for the year. No major rips or tears in the leather. Carpet over mats are grubby from off road use, but should clean up with a good scrub. Talking of the leather, it is officialy called 'Ash Grey' but is more of a brown shade. Quite rare and I have not seen many in this colour before. Looks good with the Blenheim Silver paintwork, which again is a rare colour on a P38. Typical P38 traits: A few loose bits of interior trim. Since fitting a brand new battery last week, random warning messages on the dash for sunroof not set, windows not set, etc. I think these just need resetting. It has an Android screen fitted with a rear view camera. This works well and engages as soon as you put the car into reverse. All electrics appear to work. Lights, Seats, windows, etc. Front and rear wipers and windscreen washers work fine. It's not new or perfect, but it's a cheap and useable P38. These are slowly beginning to creep up in value. Viewings are welcome - no large groups, you will be turned away. Bank Transfer on Collection only. No Cash / No PayPal. Located in Berkshire, RG2 post code. Please call me on 07984 395400 to discuss further or to arrange a viewing.

Was having a detailed look through the paperwork and history.
It has £28k in bills and receipts. Yes, that's right - £28k! Never seen this many invoices on an old Jag.

What a beast of a car. Not many cars can make an SZ Bentley look small, but this thing does it with ease! The (gorgeous) Lotus Carlton also looks tiny in comparison.
Great thread and that thing sounds like Thor clearing his throat. Proper engine, proper car.
All the best with it going forward.

1995 JAGUAR X300 XJ12 6.0 V12
318 BHP
AUTOMATIC
KINGFISHER BLUE METALLIC
MAGNOLIA LEATHER WITH PIPING
119K MILES
EXCELLENT HISTORY
12 MONTHS MOT For sale is a lovely Jaguar XJ12. I have had most version of Jaguar XJs over the years, including Series 3 models, XJ40s, X300s, X308s, X350s and X351 in most engine offerings. I have never had the V12 and have always wanted one. Only selling as I have just been offered another Mercedes 600 SEL V12 (one of my dream cars) which was too good to refuse. Two V12s is just greedy, so this splendid machine has to go to make space. The XJ12 in X300 guise was one of the most powerful iterations of the V12, pushing out 318 BHP with endless torque. I came across this example from a well-to-do gentleman that had owned the car for over 12 years. In this time, the car was serviced annually and had whatever it needed with no expense spared. It has has thousands of pounds spent on it over the years, with work including: Head gasket overhaul and rebuilding, welding, diff replacement, new radiator, servicing, brakes, tyres, suspension, gearbox servicing, paint work, etc. Over £4500 spent in the last year alone! Mechanically, the big cat is sound. Starts first turn of the key. Idles in the correct manner. No misfiring or hesitation. Quiet tick over. Pulls like a train throughout the rev range. Smoking hot hatches off the lights in an 'old man's car' never gets boring and the look on peoples faces is just priceless! Even a tap on the accelerator pedal when setting off gives you a firm idea of the fury which lurks beneath that long bonnet. No leaks. No overheating - temperature gets to the halfway point and sits there all day long, even in heavy traffic. Excellent oil pressure and battery voltage. The gearbox changes as it should. The suspension is tight, solid and free from the usual knocks and bangs which often blight these cars. The chassis is brilliant, refined and composed, making it an enjoyable car to drive. No Lotus Elise, but you'll be surprised how well she handles. Brakes are spot on and pull the big cat to a halt with no issues. Exhausts themselves are sound and have none of the usual holes or blowing, although there seems ot be a leak on one of the exhaust gaskets (which becomes quieter once the car gets up up to temperature). Differential was replaced recently and is smooth, without the typical whining. Excellent matching tyres all round. Overall, a very sound and solid mechanical drive train. In presentable condition for the year, but requires some tlc on the body. There are marks, blemishes and stone chips as to be expected. Lacquer has peeled with flat paint on the roof and bonnet, so these areas would benefit from a repaint (or replacement bonnet in same colour). There are a few rust blisters on the paint work, but not the usual rot box. No heavy rust or rot on the arches, front wings or boot area. Solid car underneath, with over £1k of welding completed last year. Alloy wheels are in very good condition. The interior is in decent order, apart from wear and a tear on the driver's seat bolster (common and can be easily repaired). No other major damage. The walnut burr is in good order. Headlining is fine with no sagging. No warning lights on the dashboard cluster. All lights turn on and then extinguish when the car is started. Everything works as it should, although the LCD clock and climate display has faded (find me one that hasn't!). The Air Conditioning is nice and cold. This XJ12 is only going up in price and they are becoming rarer as time goes on. A magnificent car with an epic power plant - they don't and won't make engines like this any more. Grab an analogue V12 car whilst you still have the chance and before they all become extinct. Comes with: 2 x Keys, 2 x Remote Fobs, Bills & Receipts totaling thousands, Previous MOT Certificates, Jaguar User Manuals and Original Sales Brochure.Private Registration 'C6 LTR' is included in the sale and valued at over £1000 Also has a spare sunroof panel and spare stereos which will come with the car. Located in Berkshire, RG2 post code. Please call me on 07984 395400 for any further information or to arrange a viewing.

Sounds great, any photos? Are we talking high teens mpg or low 20s on one of these? Thanks I need to convert the photos from HEIC to JPG and will then upload them. If you DM me your number or text me on 07984 395400, happy to send them over via WhatsApp. I'd say early 20s around town, and genuinely does 35+ MPG on a long run.

Automatic
1995 - On Private Registration (Comes with the car)
Regent Red Pearl Metallic
Full Heated Leather Interior
MOT until August 2023 Full Service History - over £9.5k in Bills & Receipts Last of the proper Volvos - Red Block, High Pressure Turbo, Front Engine, Rear Wheel Drive. Over £1200 spent in the last year: Recent Oil & Filter Service Recent Brake Fluid Change Recent Cam Belt and all Auxillary Drive Belts New Battery New Rear Brake Pads New OSR Brake Caliper New Rocker Cover Gasket New Front Oil Seals + Oil Filler Cp Seal New Spare Tyre New Front Wiper Blades New Front Number PlateMechanically spot on. Runs and drives as it should. Starts first turn of the key. No leaks. No overheating. No smoking. Idles in the correct manner. Lambda light is on, but does not affect the car in any way and has been on for the past 8 years. Only just running in at 194k Miles! B230FT / 2316cc / 4 Cylinder / 165 BHPEngine pulls well throughout the rev range, with no hesitation or power loss. Turbo spools up and engages as it should, with no untoward sounds. The bullet proof Automatic Gearbox changes smoothly and kicks down fine. All gears select as they should and there is no whining. Suspension is supple and smooth, as it should be on a 940. Irons out all road bumps. Slight knock from an anti roll bar link. Turning circle is great and on par with a London taxi. Brakes are excellent. Stop the car perfectly fine with no shuddering. Good tyres all round. Not new, not perfect, not a show winner. Has a few battle scars around the body and has been used as a workhorse, but a reliable one at that. In presentable condition for the year, and cleans up well. Has marks, blemishes and stone chips, as to be expected. A couple of marks on the bumpers. A few minor scratches. Lacquer has peeled on the bonnet, roof and doors (common on the colour). A few rust spots here and there, but no major rot. There is a patch to the left of the rear number plate which has grazed and lifted. Front bumper and lower lip is a bit loose on the OSF. But she is all there and in one piece! The interior is in decent condition, and a true testament to the Volvo build quality of this era. The seats are solid, supportive and extremely comfortable. Driver's seat has some splits and marks, the passenger seat has a few blemishes and there is general wear on the leather. The door cards have lifted - common on a 940 and show me one that hasn't! Head lining has a few marks. Everything works as it should. There are no other warning lights on the dashboard. The heater warms the car up like a Swedish sauna. A solid example of a dying breed - these Volvo 940 models will survive an apocalypse. They were designed for the harsh Scandinavian winters and always start on the coldest of winter mornings. They always get you where you need to go. Mechanically simple, no complex sensors or computers to go wrong. These things genuinely go on forever, and drive the same at 100k miles as they do at 300k miles. I have had several over the years, at different mileages and if they have been looked after like this one has, they all drive as good as a low mileage example. Comes with: 4 x Keys, Lots of Service History, Bills & Invoices, MOT History PrintoutLocated in Berkshire, RG2 post code. Please call me on 07984 395400.
