Jaguar X350 XJ Project! REAL Cheap Luxury?
The Jaguar X350 XJ blends old and new, with aluminium architecture and air suspension mated to retro styling and traditional British luxury. They're temptingly cheap right now, but should you buy one? Our colleagues at Classics World have owned an XJ8 to drive, maintain, repair and restore for seven years, so who better to ask?

    Bought 2003 3.0 sport x350 with great history. Picked up in London then Belfast, Dublin, Cherbourg, Belgium, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia and finally Kyiv Ukraine at about 4k km. it never missed a beat. Now, in Kyiv, 4 new Michelin tyres, engine, g/box, rear axel service & oil/filters, cabin filter and engine oil leak resolved with wheel alignment and air suspension checked over. Then headliner removed, stripped, recovered, replaced. All this work cost less than what I was quoted in UK to recover the headliner 😂 result plus the x350 sport silver with cranberry leather is a real head turner in Kyiv as they are very rare

It was hideously basic, 4-speed and it was dog slow (only about 45bhp I think) but it was economical and 100% reliable in the 3yrs and 55k miles I had it for and a bit more interesting than its Fiesta, Nova or Metro rivals.

    I just bought a 2005 Vanden Plas (Canada), with a perfect body and interior (except for the saggy headliner), with only 47,234 miles on the clock. I paid £7000.00 which I think was fair price, but it does need an air-con evaporator and heater core. The right front suspension (followed by the left front) sags when temps dip below 0˚C. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the car, but I do wonder if I made a smart decision buying it. 🤔

    There is a metal wire between the headlight and the indicator light as well. If you used that and removed the headlight completely (headlight adjuster might need some convincing to release), you would have had much more room to work on removing the indicator. The new gear knob you made might be more reliable than a replacement, since he replacements seem to be of a similar material as the original ones, which disintegrate in time because of heat/cold cycles, fuel residue stuck on your hands after filling up, and/or skin grease. However, the replacement gearknobs seem to be quite available here in the Netherlands and reasonably priced. Might not hurt to have one shipped over there if you are in a pinch. Thanks for giving this 205 the love it deserves and keeping it on the road!
