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.
