Welcome to the forum catpower2,

This is the forum for the current XJ model (2009 onwards) but I'll leave your post here so you can easily find it and my reply.

You can usually find model information in the registration documents but the year will help identify the model.

XJ6 Series 1 (1968 - 1973)


XJ6 Series II (1973 - 1979)


The shorter front grille and indicator lights below the bumper are the most obvious differences on the Series II.

Please follow this link New Member Area - Intro a MUST - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the New Member Area - Intro a MUST forum and post some information about yourself and your vehicle for all members to see. In return you'll get a proper welcome and some useful advice about posting to the forum.

Graham

That is an X308 (1997 - 2003) with the V8 engine. Marketed as XJ8. Yours may have a Sovereign badge on the back?

I had a similar one.



Now we know which Jaguar model you have, the forum for questions is https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xj-xj8-xjr-x308-27/

I've moved your thread to X308 forum for advice from members with the same model.

Ratingen is in Germany? If so, look on mobile.de for similar cars advertised for sale.

Possibly CATS or computer aided technology suspension. To confirm if CATS equipped, look under the bonnet and locate the front shock absorber mounts, if they have wires running to them and have black plastic caps it is CATS equipped if not, it isn't.
