When looking for a suave, timeless, luxury coupe or cabriolet, it really is hard to overlook legendary manufacturer Jaguar’s offering.
Following the infamous E-Type was never going to be an easy task but the all new model from the British marquerose to the occasion well upon introduction in 1975. The XJ-S comfortably ticked all the boxes buyers were looking for in a luxury cruiser and stands today as one of the more revered and desirable models from the marque’s impressive lineup.
The XJ-S has always had a committed and appreciative following and as such good examples are rarely around for long. L563 LFR therefore offers buyers a rare, excellent way into XJS ownership in the highly desirable top flight 6.0 litre V12 roadster variant.
Beautifully presented both mechanically and aesthetically in an alluring and lesser seen specification, this later XJS is surely one of the finer examples out there and enough to widen the eyes of just about any serious Jaguar buyer.image00045.jpeg1.97 MB
