Detailed
Here at Old Colonel Cars, the Classic and Performance Car Agency, we are delighted to have something very different for sale.
Please read the full advert, this is not a normal Jaguar XJ.
This was built by Jankel under Government contract LV/MIL/53, dated 16/02/01, this 4.0 V8 has now covered only 30,000 miles.
It is the 1st of 7 cars built and was owned and operated by the Ministry of Defence. It is one of 6 cars assigned to ministerial protection duties, the 7th was assigned to Royal protection duties. The sister car LB02LCW was Tony Blairs Prime ministerial car.
In more recent years the car has seen service as a private security car and training vehicle.

Fully armour plated cabin and bullet proof glass
Full protection for fuel cell and filler
ECU’s and fuse boxes mounted in armour plated housings

It has a boot mounted fire extinguisher and a hand held extinguisher under the front passenger seat
Kevlar plates are used on the floor under the seats

The bullet wound in rear left window was sustained whist on active duty in South Africa. Only the outer pane of glass is damaged, the other layers of glass are undamaged.
I can report it drives and performs very well indeed, pulls very strongly, suspension / brakes / engine / gearbox all feel very fresh.
Obviously you feel the extra weight, but its super smooth.
For a full inside and outside video, see the videos on the top of our website advert.
Mot’d until Feb 2027 (No Advisories), will have YEARS MOT on sale.
Something very interesting to take to local shows or to take a place in any collection.
