The first Jaguar XJ was launched in 1968 and the XJ designation has been used for successive Jaguar flagship models ever since. The original model was the last Jaguar saloon to have had the input of Sir William Lyons, the company's founder. The Jaguar XJ (X300) was manufactured between 1994 and 1997 and was the first XJ produced entirely under Ford ownership and can be considered an evolution of the outgoing XJ40 generation. Like all previous XJ generations, it features the Jaguar independent rear suspension arrangement with the design emphasis on improved build quality, improved reliability and a return to traditional Jaguar styling elements. The X300 was stylistically intended to evoke the image of the more curvaceous series XJ. The front of the car was redesigned significantly to return to four individual round headlamps that provided definition to the sculptured bonnet. Mechanically, it was similar to the XJ40 that it replaced. Six-cylinder X300s are powered by the AJ16 inline-six engine which is a further enhancement of the AJ6 engine that uses an electronic distributor-less ignition system.

Supplied to the Japanese market on the 8th July 1996, chassis SAJJFKLG3BJ781196 was specified in Glacier White with a Savile Grey leather interior. Supplied with the original book pack, there are a number of service invoices on file from this period. Imported into the UK in 2020, the first UK owner would have the car serviced in December 2020 and kept the car in his private collection prior to having it registered with the DVLA in 2022. The XJ would continue to be maintained to a very high standard with a number of invoices on file from his period of ownership. During June 2022, the Jaguar was sold once more and remained in his custodianship until October 2023, when it was acquired by the vendor. The vendor has continued the high standard of maintenance, with a recent service in July 2024; he also opted to have the rear windows professionally tinted to modernise its specification.

'N848 WUP' is described by the vendor as being a 'very good' example and pointed out that at the last service, the specialists commented that it was a 'notably clean example' and described it as 'rust free'. The vendor pointed out that the offside front wing has an area where the paint has lifted, but also advised that it 'drives very well'.
