The Appeal
Originally sold new in Dearborn, Michigan, this V12 XJS has more recently returned to the country of its birth and is now registered in the UK.
Finished in Topaz Metallic paint, which looks great, this Jaguar features the desirable electric folding mohair roof and sports stylish alloy wheels.
The interior is very well presented, with light tan leather upholstery and high end features such as air conditioning and cruise control.
So now this XJS is ready to begin its next chapter of life in the UK, being enjoyed on sunny weekend afternoons with the roof down.

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.

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.
