The Appeal

Forward-facing styling, high-end cabins and impressive performance have all made the XJ-S a deeply evocative, aspirational car - one that the general public continues to admire, and one with a very dedicated fanbase. Legions of enthusiasts continue to get behind the wheel in their droves.

A recent investment of €2,500 has been made, including the fitting of a new soft top and headliner, with the hydraulic operation reportedly in good working order. The original paintwork remains intact, and the underside is reported by the vendor to be solid.

Located in Damwoude, Netherlands, the car comes with all original booklets and a clean Carfax report. Transportation assistance across Europe can be arranged if required, and all that remains is for this US-Title car to be registered in Europe, inspected and returned to the road.
