The Appeal
The Jaguar XJS is one of the most successful, long-lived vehicles in the manufacturer’s repertoire. In the late ‘90s when XJS production came to an end, Jaguar made sure it went out with a bang. The XJS Celebration was the final iteration of the model, carrying a real sense of occasion, and it continues to do so today.
This is a great example of the Celebration model: highly original, well cared for and with that smashing interior, this car has had a relatively peaceful life that’s kept it looking and acting at its best. The Celebration might be over, but this classy motor is ready to party on with a host of celebrities on its passenger list. The owner’s career as a record producer leads him to confidently state that Oasis and Paul Weller have all been on board.
The car offered for sale here is presented in very good condition throughout, and comes with an extensive history detailing its careful maintenance. And with the current owner having looked after this Jaguar for 25 years, now it’s time find its next custodian.

- The carpets are well presented, with little sign of wear
- Switchgear and instrumentation in good condition
- The air conditioning is said to blow reassuringly cold

- Modern Kenwood radio, with CD and DAB functionality as well as hands free mobile function with microphone fitted in dashboard
- The only reported issue on the dashboard is that the parking brake light stays on
- Some slight fraying to the veneer at the top of the steering wheel, but barely noticeable until close inspection
- Seats have very minor wear, as do the carpets, commensurate with the car’s low mileage
- The central locking is said to be a little sticky sometimes, but still works
- Boot is in good order, with clean carpets throughout and space saver spare wheel
The Exterior
- Finished in metallic blue with twin coachlines
- The electric roof is said to function quickly and smoothly
- Some minor chips and scratches to paintwork, but far from detracting from the vehicle

- Slight scratches to hood and boot door
- Occasional very small paint chips, barely visible from the overall view of the vehicle
- Minor signs of corrosion to underside with no reported structural defects

- There is no pitting or damage to the plating that we could see, other than one or two small dings
- Panel gaps tight and consistent
- Convertible hood replaced in 2014 and in good condition, with no rips or tears
- When lowering the soft top the roof bar need to be held slightly to stop it touching the top of back seats
- Desirable 16'' Lattice alloys
- Matching set of tyres with some signs of ageing
The Mechanics
- Straight-six AJ16 engine, highly regarded
- New handbrake and gearbox mounts fitted in 2017
- According to the vendor, the parking brake light stays on due to a minor electrical fault

- The owner informs us there are no faults with the engine and that regular mechanical care has kept it in good working order
Summary
With its powerful engine, excellent interior and eye catching shape, this XJS is a superb choice for any collector. The 1996 brochure carried the byline ‘A car offering more excitement, distinction, and value for money than ever before.’ - and that remains every bit as valid today.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
