£1500 Working Rare Black 2008 Jaguar XF 3.0 Diesel Sport

[Peter_Raf]

A truly reluctant sale of my fantastic Jaguar XF 3.0 V6 Diesel Sport.

Please read the full description carefully. This is an honest listing for what I believe is a very special car, and I want it to go to a real enthusiast who can give it the attention it deserves. The private plate shown in some photos is NOT included in the sale. The car will be sold with its original registration: OE59 XOK.

Why is this car special?

This is the highly sought-after 3.0-litre V6 Diesel Sport model, which offers a brilliant combination of power and performance that the smaller 2.0-litre versions can't match. Finding one of these in black is genuinely difficult. When I was looking, I saw many in silver or grey, but black models were rare and commanded a significantly higher price. For an enthusiast, this represents a fantastic opportunity to own a top-specification model in the best colour combination.

My Story with the Car

I have owned this Jaguar for three years, having paid around £5,500 for it. It has been an absolutely superb car, and I really do not want to be selling it. Most of the miles I added were gentle motorway miles as I lived far out in the countryside. The only minor issue when I bought it was some taped wiring in the boot, which is a common XF quirk which I fixed easily enough. 

I would much rather keep it. However, my circumstances have now changed. I am not returning to the UK for the foreseeable future, and my sister, who has been kindly storing the car for me, is now moving house in 1 week!. This means, very reluctantly, the car must find a new home.

The Condition & The Project

This is a project car, but it's starting from a fantastic base.

The Good:

• The engine is absolutely perfect. It starts instantly from cold (I have a video I can send) and runs smoothly and powerfully.
• The gearbox is seamless.
• It passed its MOT just before I left the country. It has not been driven since, other than to start it regularly.
• It had new brakes fitted just before it was put into storage.
   

  he Work Required:

• The car's MOT expired around 10 months ago.
• It is currently declared SORN (off the road) and is not taxed.
• As shown in the photos, there is a heavy dent on one of the doors. This will require either a skilled panel repair or a replacement door.
• A new window motor and a light unit are waiting in the boot to be fitted.
• The car is sold with one key to start and an additional boot key.
  
  I have a full video I can send of it working fully, showing and explaining the niggles and the dent with complete transparency. 

• Important Information

  Unless you know of a loop hole in that you can put tax on a car, get one day insurance and book your MOT that day, then the car drives away to anywhere you want perfectly but to my knowledge you can't tax a car with an MOT. Therefore due to having no MOT or tax, the car cannot be driven away. It must be collected from my sister's address in Moreton, Wirral, UK. using a trailer or a vehicle recovery service.

  This is a genuine and regrettable sale. If you're an enthusiast looking for a rare, high-spec project with a superb engine, this is your chance. With the bodywork sorted and a new MOT, you will have a truly stunning Jaguar that is worth significantly more than the price of entry.
