Celebrating the 50th birthday of the XJ, Jaguar is embarking on a special road trip starring its iconic flagship sedan. From Jaguar Castle Bromwich plant in the UK, a convoy made of 8 generations of the XJ will head to the Paris Motor Show.

Jaguar’s XJ-series is the epitome of luxury and performance for the British car maker.  And even with Ford money, and the subsequent introduction of new models such as the XK-series, X-Type, and S-Type series models, the XJ-series has remained the company’s all-encompassing product.  The XJ-series, especially in XJ8 form, proves that the British do stand a great chance in toppling the Germans in the ultra-luxury car game.
