New XJ’s charity giveaway

Usually, the first car off any production line is snapped up by the manufacturer’s museum – but not this one.

The premier example of Jaguar’s new XJ luxury saloon will be given away as a prize before it goes on sale – and the owner will pay only £125.

The top-spec, short-wheelbase 3.0-litre diesel Portfolio model – worth £62,000 – will go up for grabs in a competition to raise money for children’s charity the NSPCC.

Anyone can pay £125 for a chance to win the car, right up to the cut-off date of 25 November.

The draw takes place the next day. The only proviso for entrants is that they’re over 18, can afford to insure the XJ themselves and are available on 1 December for publicity in London.

All funds go to the Child’s Voice appeal, which aims to raise £50million to develop the Childline counselling service. See www.jaguar.co.uk/nspcc to be in with a chance of winning.
