Description

Jaguar XJ-S Pre HE first registered July 1979, supplied by Saville Motors Stratford-On-Avon. Finished in Tudor White with Black leather, complimented by Kent alloy wheels. This car has a recorded mileage of 58, 000 miles, which is believed genuine. The car comes with the Supercover Handbook Portfolio, drivers handbook and passport to service book, which is stamped to 46, 000 miles. Also with the history is a letter from the previous owner, plus MOT certificates dating back 25 years and invoices for various parts etc, including a gearbox rebuild. According to the history the first owner was a Jaguar dealership, the second owner owned the car for 20 years until 2001. From what can be ascertained the car spent some time off the road from 2001 until 2007 and then again from 2008 until circa 2020 when it was used sparingly and then again it was laid up until 2025.
