The X308 was introduced in 1997, to a design by Geoff Lawson.
The X308 kept much of the same exterior styling as the X300, with its rounded four-headlamp bonnet, low roofline, sloping tail, and wrap-around rear light clusters. From the front, the two generations can be differentiated by the shape of the indicator lenses (rectangular on the X300, oval on the X308), and by the shape of the fog lamps and lower valance air intake (both of which are more rounded on the X308.)
Available with engines of 3.2 litre 240bhp, a 4.0 litre bhp with 290 bhp and a 4.0ltr Supercharged engine of 370bhp.
The Vanden Plas version were top of the model range with the Supercharged engine as found in the XJR was known as the Super V8. These Supercharged long-wheelbase variants were also fitted with Jaguar's Proprietary CATS adaptive suspension. The "Sports" setup from the XJR application, however, is replaced by a "touring" set-up, exclusive to supercharged Daimler and Vanden Plas variants. It is softer and more compliant than the XJR's Computer Adaptive Technology Suspension system.
This car belonged to HRH The Queen and was used by her private use before being returned to Jaguar for preservation.. It was also the last X308 built.
