Highlights

The Appeal
The beautiful big V12 XJ-S from Jaguar is very much as appreciating classic car, especially with the V12 engine, and the convertible hood.
This example is in very nice condition throughout and really does look the business on the road, especially with the top down, when it looks particularly svelte.
The History and Paperwork
• First registered in 1990
• Good service history
• MOT expires 10.02.2023
• V5c present
• Many MOTs, service receipts and invoices
• 1 set of keys
• Original owner’s wallet, manuals and service book
• Spare wheel and tools
Owned for the last 7 years by a Jaguar enthusiast the car is presented in a very good condition throughout and it’s only down to lack of use that this particular example is now being made available for auction. Clearly kept garaged and lovingly cared for by its previous owners as is evident from the condition and the stack of paperwork it comes with.
The Interior
• Full cream leather interior
• Excellent wood inserts
The luxury leather and wood interior from Jaguar with its thick carpets is all very inviting and in very good condition too.
A later audio head unit has been fitted, with the original stored in the boot, and otherwise the interior is in great overall condition with the electric hood and everything working well.
There’s a hood sock or cover for the hood when it’s down and there’s the spare wheel and tools stored neatly in the boot.
The Exterior
• Very good paintwork
• Great condition wheels with good tyres
• Blue hood and hood cover
Looking very well presented with its Ice or Arctic Blue paint apart from a small bubbling in both of the wheel-arches, the car looks fantastic.
The blue hood a has two small areas that needs minor repairs to the stitching and the wheels are in great condition, the car having benefited from being garaged certainly for the majority of its life.
Under the huge bonnet everything looks correct and the underneath looks particularly clean and well cared for.
The Mechanics
• 5.3 V12 Auto
• Regularly serviced and used
• Runs and drives as it should
Last serviced in 2019 the car has done very little mileage since and is reported to drive exceptionally well, delivering awesome and effortless performance and that special Jaguar ride.
The Summary
A very nice and well cared-for, low mileage example of Jaguar’s famous luxury GT, in a great colour and in great all-round condition.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
