Supplied new to Alderney, Channel Islands the car came into the UK in 2010 with 30,000 miles covered and has had only 1 UK owner prior to being added to the current owner's collection of around 30 historic and classic Jaguar motor cars. Our client owns a large succesful PLC and is a most meticulous Jaguar collector and enthusiast who insists on having his cars mechanically and cosmetically perfect and this car is testament to his obsessive attention to detail. The owner is well known in the Jaguar community and maintains his vehicles with no regard to expense, often investing many times what the cars are actually worth to keep them in superb condition. The owner has a large building specifically constructed to house his collection and employs his own mechanic to continually tend to his vehicles so in fact far more work has been carried out than is detailed in the service history. None of these cars ever come out in the rain so this car suffers none of the corrosion issues which can plague these models. In short, this is very easily amongst the best XJ-S models available today and would be a worthwhile addition to any collection.
