Highlights

Stunning condition V12 convertible
New mohair hood and wood
Lots of history and kept garaged

The Appeal

For too long the XJS lived in the shadow of the E Type, but at last its greatness is being recognised. The long, low and sleek bodywork is home to Jaguar’s wonderful 5.3 litre V12.

This car appears to have been very well looked after and comes with a very comprehensive history file covering everything from services to new trim and even a new mohair hood. In all honesty, the condition inside and out speaks for itself.
