Jaguar XJ8 SE V8 X350 - History, Review and Drive

A feature on my Jaguar XJ8 SE V8 – the XJ has been Jaguar’s pinnacle luxury saloon car from 1968 to 2019, and my car is textbook ‘classic Jag’ having been finished in British Racing Green with Cream Leather interior. This near 20 year old Jaguar still impresses driver, passengers and passers-by… it is a lovely thing! In this video I cover a brief history of the XJ saloon cars, some details about my XJ8 and we take the Jaguar on a drive across the picturesque roads of Dartmoor. Plus, there is a surprise instore at the end of this video as I swap my XJ8 for a new (well, new to the Channel) car… so stay tuned to the end!
