The Jaguar X350, or the "Sovereign" in the UK, represents a significant evolution in the Jaguar XJ line, particularly with the introduction of an all-aluminium monocoque body. This design choice, a first for the car industry, made the X350 lighter and stiffer than its predecessor, the X308. The X350 also featured advanced technology such as electronically controlled air suspension and a six-speed automatic transmission. The new XJ was probably the best built and most reliable XJ saloon to that point. The first entirely new XJ saloon since the XJ40 of 1986, the aluminium-bodied car was claimed to be 200lb lighter than the outgoing X308.
This stunning 2005 Jaguar Sovereign model, a 4.2 V8 Long Wheel Base example, was first registered new to a large UK-based PLC for chauffeur-driven use only. As you can imagine the Jaguar was very well specified from new, with features including four-zone air conditioning, rear TV screens, rear climate and media controls, power adjustable rear seats, DVD player, ruched soft grain leather seating, a burr walnut veneer, a wood and leather steering wheel, 18 inch wheels, Alpine premium sound system, Adaptive Damping (CATS), automatic Xenon lights, Cruise Control, 16-way electric seats with memory Function, and electric rear blind.
Beautifully finished in Midnight Black Metallic with a cream leather interior, this exceptional example has covered a mere 11,500 miles from new, in the care of just two keepers in total. Looking through the service book we can find a total of nine main dealer service stamps up to 9,594 miles in 2017.
In current ownership since early 2024, the Jaguar has been serviced twice (at 11,021 and 11,489 miles, both by The Chiltern Jaguar Specialist), with nominal mileage since the last garage visit. This ULEZ-exempt modern classic comes complete with full service history, also MoT certificate valid to March 2026. By far the nicest example we have seen, and in our opinion exceptional value for a car of such quality.
