The car stayed with the original owner until 2016 when it was purchased by our client to add to his extensive collection of around 30 classic Jaguar motor cars. Our client is the owner of a large PLC with a turnover in excess of £30m per annum, his Jaguar car collection is stored within a purpose built structure and maintained by his own mechanic with no regard to expense, in fact far more work has been carried out on this vehicle than is detailed in the service records. Our client likes his cars to be as original as possible, just as they left the factory, and kept in "turn key" condition at all times despite each car being seldom driven. This particular car has not been in regular use since 2018 but due to the program of continuous maintenance described above the car drives beautifully, as can be seen from our videos on Facebook and YouTube. The advertised price includes a detailed inspection and thorough "recommission" at an independent specialst prior to delivery, bringing the service records right up to date and the car will be supplied with an advisory free MOT.

Behind the wheel everything is exactly as it should be, a real step back in time ! This car is fitted with the factory sports suspension option making it far more responsive to drive than the standard cars which tend to feel quite soft and floaty, in short this feels like a proper sports car and, coupled with the manual gearbox, makes the car very involving to drive. We would go as far as to say this is the best driving XJ-S we have ever had and never fails to put a smile on your face. The straight six AJ6 motor is particularly healthy and pulls like a train while returning surprising fuel economy, easily doubling what you might expect from a V12 model, this is a classic Jaguar that you can use and enjoy without breaking the bank !

The car is finished in stunning jet black with cheviot tweed interior and presents exceptionally well, this is easily amongst the best and certainly the most original examples available and would be a great addition to any collection whilst providing a huge amount of pleasure to any marque enthusiast.

Needless to say, the car has never been out in the rain so does not suffer any of the usual corrossion issues that can plague this model. The bodywork is simply stunning, the car looks more like a 2 year old than 37 years old !

Specification of the period to include air conditioning, central locking, electric windows, partial electric seats, original panasonic telephone with instruction manual, 15 inch lattice style alloy wheels are unmarked and shod with correct Pirelli P6000 tyres all round, all fairly fresh. The original Jaguar radio is in place and switches on but we cannot make it tune in to a radio station, perhaps time for a radio upgrade ? There is also an original 1980's car telephone, a real trip down memory lane !

Supplied with all original keys, original book pack containing full compliment of owners manuals, stamped service book etc.

A joy to own, very involving to drive and a steadily appreciating asset, cars of this calibre with such low mileage and provenance rarely come to market.
