The Jaguar XJ is 50 years old! The Series 1 XJ started the dynasty in 1968 and the line has continued for eight generations, transporting VIPs, politicians, business leaders and royalty – as well as starring in movies like Love Actually and The Long Good Friday, as well as the James Bond films.
Now Jaguar has produced a special edition XJ50 model to celebrate the anniversary. It's available in both standard and long wheelbase with 3.0-litre diesel engine, and features Autobiography-style front and rear bumpers, new 20-inch Venom wheels, a black front grille and unique badging to the rear and side vents. Colour include Fuji White, Santorini Black, Loire Blue and Rosello Red.
The diamond-quilted seats feature an embossed leaper on the headrests and an XJ50 logo on the centre armrest. Unique intaglio branding and XJ50-badged illuminated treadplates also differentiate the anniversary edition, alongside anodised gearshift paddles and bright metal pedals.
'Spanning half a century, the Jaguar XJ remains true to its heritage with a wonderful balance of beautiful design, intelligent performance and indulgent luxury that ensures it stands out from the crowd,' summarises Ian Callum. 'This is a car worth celebrating and the XJ50 pays homage to a giant within the Jaguar brand that we believe is one of the world’s most stylish sporting saloons.'
The XJ50 is priced from £74,280 in the UK.
