1996 Jaguar LWB X330
This is our Modern Classic the 1996 Jaguar Sovereign LWB (long wheel base).
Also known as the X330 the colour is metallic gold with cream leather trim and walnut cappings. The car has a 3.2 straight six engine and being a LWB it is spacious in the back with big doors for ease access. This car will seat four passengers plus the driver and is fitted with seat belts so we can accommodate children under 3 if required (as this is not possible in our other cars due to no seat belts). These cars are a popular choice by government officials.
