Hi Guys

My 1997 X300 Sovereign 4.0 LWB had its first MOT today in my stewardship and it passed with no issues at all.

I'm over the moon!

It is a great car and I will keep it forever.

I had an X300 XJ Sport 3.2 years ago and really missed it. I was looking to replace it with an X300 XJR, but most of the cars MDT and I went to see were rubbish.

I saw this one on the way back from another wasted XJR viewing.

2 owners, 97k miles, full history and really immaculate. It even still has the original Jag phone.

I haven't done too much to it - just some minor paintwork, refurb of the alloys, new tyres and new exhausts.

Just thought I'd share smile

Cheers! There are good ones out there. It just takes a bit of time to go through the dross.

Matt was lucky with his X308 as it was the first one he saw.

Stunning car you have there. I sold my X300 last year and still miss it a lot, i will be getting another some time soon, but not sure which one, really swaying towards the X308 XJR though.

Eh no, It was my second one I got. you forget the first one I went to see the black one that made many strange sounds and need 2500rpm to pull away. mmmm I did not look back as I walked away ;-)

Do it. I bought mine in Oct, and haven't regretted a moment of ownership wink

I usually get "itchy feet" with car ownership, and am looking for the next change, but I'm truly stumped as to what to replace the XJR with, so it's staying...
