Owned my new Jaguar for 3 weeks , wasn't expecting a Jag to be my first car but something just felt right about it! It’s a Jaguar X type 3.0 v6 sovereign edition! If someone could maybe advise how rare these are (if they are in anyway!) and if they are sought after that would be great? As noticed not many for sale and registered , Happy to have joined! 

You don’t see many 3.0’s , just make sure the sills are solid behind the skirts (you need to remove them to check properly) mostly I seem to spot diesels.

............ and here we see the 3.0 Jaguar in its natural habitat, a fillng station! 🤣

Joking aside, i have an S Type 3.0 and i easily get at least 28mpg from it without trying - the big enemy of good mpg is pootling about at 30mph up and down the gears. Long straight roads, constant speed above 50mph and it gets good figures.

Welcome aboard Daniel, as mentioned above, check for rust on the sills and where they meet the rear wheel arches.

 

I have an X Type 3.0, petrol, registered November 2002.  70,000 miles.  FSH.  New accelerator throttle butterfly valve, new radiator, new battery, new headliner board.  Any offers?  Location SW France.

Hi Daniel,

I have a 3.0 sovereign X type and I think good ones are getting quite hard to get hold of .Mine has the manual gearbox which makes it fun and quite fast to drive if the urge should strike. (Not that the need for speed hits me very often !).Lovely cars, welcome aboard.😀
