1985 Jaguar XJS

This Jaguar XJ-S V12 Coupe is an elegantly styled British grand tourer, which is thought to have genuine remarkably low mileage. Under the bonnet is the naturally aspirated 5.3-litre ‘High Efficiency’ V12, driving the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. This example has been with the seller for the last 10 years and is reported to have had only one previous keeper. The odometer shows 272 kilometres, which the seller believes to be the total from new. Build year: 1985 This XJ-S is finished in white over a cream leather-trimmed cabin with wooden inlays. It rides on a set of 15-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, fitted with Pirelli tyres. Equipment includes headlight wipers, cruise control, electric windows, air conditioning, and a Jaguar radio-cassette player. Accompanying the sale is the owner’s book pack, various paperwork, the spare wheel, and toolkit. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: a tiny chip on the paintwork and a little discolouration around the armrest. The car was last serviced in February 2020 at an indicated 188 kilometres. During this service, the engine was turned over by hand and the bores were inspected using a borescope. The Jaguar XJ-S V12 Coupe is a sophisticated classic grand tourer, blending its distinctive exterior styling with a smooth naturally aspirated V12. This is a particularly desirable example of the breed, offered for sale by its current owner of 10 years. It is sure to be an exciting find for any Jaguar collector, and should make an ideal companion for long-distance road trips, weekend cruises, and visits to any number of classic car shows.
