The Appeal

The Jaguar XJ-S V12 is one of the great British grand tourers, pairing the renowned smoothness of the 5.3-litre V12 with effortless, long-legged cruising ability. As a 1988 example, this car benefits from the many refinements introduced throughout the model's lengthy production run, placing it among the most developed iterations of the line.

This particular XJ-S has been well maintained, with key service items recently addressed. Both the interior and exterior have been professionally valeted, and the car presents as a well-kept example of Jaguar's flagship grand tourer that appears ready to be enjoyed.
