The Appeal

The later straight-six Jaguar XJS is widely regarded as one of the most refined iterations of this iconic grand tourer. The 4.0-litre AJ16 engine brought improved smoothness and reliability over its predecessors, making these cars wonderfully usable classics that reward long-distance driving as much today as they did when new.

This particular example has been in the same family since 2003, having been purchased by the seller's uncle before passing to the seller's father, a mechanic by trade, who has reportedly carried out all maintenance and servicing over the years. That kind of informed, hands-on stewardship is exactly what these cars thrive on. It has been garage stored under a cover throughout its current ownership and was professionally resprayed some four to five years ago. A friend who has been driving the car describes it as presenting well, especially for its age, and it comes to market with a current NCT.
