Description
This V-12 is silky smooth and almost silent at its best. Fuel economy should not be a concern of yours if you are seeking one out, and the wisdom of buying the best you can was never truer than when it was applied to the XJS. The time warp car offered here is probably one of the lowest mileage examples in existence and with the ultimate 5. 3ltr V12 configuration, must be one of the most desirable and collectible XJS' to come to the market. This car was purchased from Exeter Garages new by Helen Bithrey of Weston Honiton in the UK on the 17th August 1988 for (£30400). The cars file has a copy of its original purchase invoice, photos of the car signed by Helen, all of its DVLAs and colourful licence discs from 1988 all the way up until 2013 when the car was purchased at the Bonhams Oxford Auction on the 15th June 2013 by our vendor. Our vendor did not intend to purchase the XJS and had gone to the auction in search of other classics but his attention was immediately drawn to the cars elegant yet aggressive lines flowing all the way to the top of the flying buttresses at the rear. This of course and the ridiculously low mileage of 13742 miles! The car is currently in our private showroom in Linksfield, Johannesburg where it has been stored in the dry Highveld conditions of South Africa. The car presents as nearly new, having done very little mileage and stored carefully its whole life. This vehicle still retains its UK registration, so licensing will present no issue.
