Jaguar XJ

The Jaguar XJ, launched in 1968, was the brand's flagship saloon for over 50 years across eight generations. Early Series I, II, and III cars defined British luxury with their supple ride and elegant styling, representing the last saloons influenced by founder Sir William Lyons. Later generations like the V8-powered X308 and aluminum-bodied X350 brought modernity and performance, especially in supercharged XJR form.

Collector interest spans the entire model run. Classic enthusiasts seek out the early Series cars for their timeless design, while others prefer the performance and modern comforts of the 1990s and 2000s XJR models. The final X351 generation is also gaining a following for its dramatic styling and potent engines.

The market for the XJ is incredibly diverse. While rare models like the XJC coupe or low-mileage supercharged variants command strong prices, the majority of XJs from the 1990s and 2000s are very affordable. With an average sale price under $15,000, many represent an accessible entry point into luxury motoring, though buyers should budget for maintenance.

Prices range from $100 for project cars to $175,000 for rare, top-spec variants in concours condition.
