The Appeal

The US-market ‘Classic Collection’ XJS got gold badging and upgraded Connolly leather to further dial up the appeal of Jaguar’s popular V12-engined grand tourer. This car adds appropriate British Racing Green and Doeskin leather to the specification.

The car displays a low mileage for the year and appears to be largely factory standard, including lattice alloy wheels. The leather cabin is in good conditio and there are a few points to note regarding the paintwork. As a pre-facelift car it retains the chrome bumpers and ‘Gothic’ rear lights of the early cars.

Originally supplied to the US market, this car has since been imported to Europe via the Netherlands, with all duties and VAT paid. It comes with its USA title, Dutch import documentation, and original factory window sticker.
