● Description

This Jaguar XJ 4.0 Sovereign is an excellent project car for anyone looking to restore a classic British luxury saloon. Powered by Jaguar's smooth and powerful 4.0 V8 engine, it offers the refined and elegant driving experience the XJ is famous for — but it does require work before returning to the road.

The instrument cluster is not working, so the gauges and display will need repair. The rear wheel bearings are noisy and will need attention. There is both external and internal body damage, all clearly shown in the photos. The boot only opens with the key.The car is sold as seen and will suit an enthusiast who wants to bring a classic Jaguar back to its former glory.

It comes with 1 key and no V5C, so the new owner will need to apply for a replacement via the DVLA using a V62 form.

The MOT is valid until 18 December 2025, meaning once repaired, the vehicle can legally return to the road.

The Jaguar XJ Sovereign remains an iconic luxury model with a strong following — perfect for restoration, collection, or a long-term project.
