SUMMARY
This rare sport model remains the rarest X300 variant. This survivor drives well, offered with a long MOT.
DESCRIPTION
Background:
In late 1997, the Jaguar ‘X300’ XJ6 became the car it should have been at launch, the new ‘X308’ featured a few visual tweaks – a new dashboard, better wood, clearer dials, and rounder bumpers. But beneath the exterior, which didn’t have an awful lot wrong with it anyway, the X308 was a thoroughly different beast.
This one is a properly rare beast – a 1999 ‘Sport’ spec, which was one step up from the entry-level car and was aimed at younger customers, identifiable by its body-coloured grille surround and mesh grille. However, in 1999, the Sport was discontinued as Jaguar didn’t want XJ prices to overlap with the new S-TYPE executive saloon. It was one of the rarest XJ variants, on sale for only nine months. It’s also one of the most desirable, as the Sport specification meant it received the steering and suspension from the flagship XJR.
The Car:
First registered in June 1997 to a Scottish doctor, this XJ6 Sport still presents well despite its advancing years. Enjoying all the usual standard equipment such as the Harman Kardon sound system, 6-CD auto changer, electric leather seats and sport suspension, this slice of British beef still wafts along in luxury, just as it should.
The interior condition is outstanding and looking at the rear seats, one would assume they have never been sat in. The bodywork also presents well, with some small bubbles now visible in places.
The car was treated to a brand new full headlining two years ago, along with a new exhaust. Whilst the service book has long since disappeared, the car was given a major service last year, which included upgrading the tricky camshaft sensor to a Bosch unit to guarantee longevity and peace of mind. A new Bosch battery was installed in 2024 as were four all-weather tyres which still carry 8mm of tread. The most recent service was in January of this year, a health check was also performed and the results of which can be seen in the picture gallery.
The car also comes with a long MOT, valid until January 2026. Advisories centre around some light corrosion underneath with would be something to keep an eye on. A windscreen chip is also mentioned, but that has been professionally repaired.
