The Appeal
The XJS is one of those cars which has managed to maintain a lasting appeal, remaining popular to this day. Its distinctive styling set it apart from its predecessors and we think it has aged extremely well.
This six-cylinder model is finished in the attractive shade of Diamond Blue paint and has a grey leather interior. The paint looks to be in very good condition and we’re told that the underside of the car is reassuringly solid.
It benefits from having had its wheels refurbished, and they remain very presentable. The air conditioning system has also been serviced and upgraded to allow the use of modern refrigerants. So this Jaguar can be comfortably enjoyed, even on the hottest of summer days, a true luxury in any classic car.

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.

|---|---|
| £0 to £10,000 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £50,000 | £250.00 |

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.
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
