The Appeal

With its gold badging and exclusive veneer and leather trim, the US-market Classic Edition is one of the stand-out models of the XJS’ later years. This very tidy black V12 convertible is one of those models and has recently returned to Europe.

The car is reported to have a clean CARFAX report showing no damage in the history and to be a matching number example. Originally delivered new in the United States, the car has since been imported to the Netherlands with all duties and VAT fully settled. It comes accompanied by its USA title, Dutch import documentation, and its original factory window sticker. The vendor is also able to assist with worldwide transport and shipping, making this an accessible opportunity for enthusiasts across Europe and beyond.

This is a low mileage V12 XJS in desirable specification.

✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates.

✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is’ basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.

✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.

✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status and it's always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer.
