Default Help Identifying This XJ Type

Hello everyone. My father-in-law is possibly going to be getting rid of his 2003 Jaguar XJ. I believe it is a XJ Sport but I am not sure. I know it's not the best picture but any help would be appreciated. Also is there anything that I should know about this car such as the good and bad of it.

Thanks,

You will probably get a better/quicker response posting your question in the X308 sub forum, which is devoted to 1997-2003 XJ's like the one shown in the picture.

From the wiki:
The Sport model was equipped only with the 3.2 L normally aspirated engine, and, in 2002-2003 in the American market with a 4.0 L normally aspirated V8.[11]It offered stiffer suspension, sportier seating and interior colour combinations, and wider/larger wheels than the XJ8. The windscreen and rear window surrounds were painted matt black, as were the rain gutters and window frames for European markets (the US retains chrome surrounds). The radiator grille has metallic grey vertical slats. Rather than a chrome radiator grille surround, the Sport uses a body-coloured surround. Rear badging reads "XJ Sport".

Regardless of whatever you might think makes it unique and valuable, the reality is that it's a 15 year old Jaguar sedan with a reputation for reliability problems. For a reality check, take it to your local Carmax and see what they'll offer to buy it.
