The Appeal
Jaguar has produced some of the most iconic and coveted automobiles of all time, so it’s no surprise that the XJ-S is sought after among enthusiasts, with its popularity growing exponentially in recent years.
This example of a Jaguar XJ-S is certainly a very attractive proposition, with its 5.3 litre V12 engine, convertible roof and smart paintwork. And to top it off, it is in fantastic original condition. Having evidently seen little to no use in winter, it remains clean and solid.
So don’t miss this brilliantly original XJ-S, which is crying out to be driven through the mountains with the roof down on a sunny summer’s afternoon.
The History and Paperwork
- Manufactured in December 1989

Notice to bidders - The vendor has advised that upon a successful sale to a UK bidder, they will happily cover sea freight shipment charges from the Port of Toronto to the Port of Southampton.
The Interior
- Beautifully clean throughout
- All features fully functioning
- Cruise control
Sumptuous leather, polished veneer and all the electronic gadgets make this XJ-S’s interior a luxurious place to be, even by today’s standards. The driver is assisted by the optional cruise control and comforted by the electrically adjustable seats, while the digital display provides all the live data the discerning driver could need.
The carpets and overmats also look fantastic.To the rear, the boot (trunk) is in great condition and the spare wheel and tool kit are present and correct.

The Exterior
- Original paint is in excellent condition
- Soft top like new
- No signs of corrosion underneath
The vendor states that they have deliberately not polished the paintwork of this XJ-S in order to preserve the originality of the paint. So the next owner will be able to decide upon the best course of action.
As can be seen in the accompanying photographs, the seller has gone to great lengths to point out any blemishes to be found in the paintwork so you know exactly what you’re bidding on. These consist of a few chips and marks which we would expect to see on a car of this age.
The convertible roof reportedly functions exactly as it should and appears to be in almost new condition. And the alloy wheels appear to be blemish free.
Because of Canada’s harsh winters, this convertible XJ-S is said to have never been driven when there is salt on the road. And due to the clean nature of the underside, the vendor thinks that it may have rarely, if ever, seen rain.

The Mechanics
- 5.3 Litre V12
- In excellent mechanical condition
The beating heart of this XJ-S is its 5.3 litre V12 engine, which produces a very respectable 263hp. Looking at this fine example of British engineering, it appears to have lived a sheltered life: the engine bay is very clean and tidy, with everything appearing to be to the original specification other than a couple of hose clips.
The vendor reports that the car drives exactly as it should, changing gear, braking and accelerating with that characteristic Jaguar directness. There appear to be no leaks or smoke.
In all, this car wears its 113,480 Kilometers very well and looks to be in remarkably good condition.
Summary
To us, this Jaguar looks like the perfect XJ-S. It combines the fun and thrills of a V12 sports car with the peace of mind that comes with knowing that it has been sensibly looked after. It appears to have been lovingly put away for winter hibernation each year to avoid the perils of rain, snow and salt.
Yet it remains an entirely usable car. It’s the kind of car you could bring out in spring and drive every day until the autumn. You’ll arrive at your destination in style and have great fun along the way.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
