Highlights
• Remarkably well-preserved XJS in unrestored condition
• Completely original car with no modifications and exhaustive list of additional factory options
• Lovingly cared for with a comprehensive service record and previous Jaguar owners-club President owner.
The Background
With a wide production run spanning 20 years from 1975 to 1995, the XJ-S was a great success for Jaguar and today represents an iconic, British classic car that is instantly recognisable. Inheriting a strong 5.3-litre V12 from the Series III E-type, the XJ-S offered a shift in nature from sports car to luxurious grand tourer. Thanks to its comfortable ride, luxurious interior, and powerful, smooth engine, the XJ-S was primed for covering long distances in great style.
Offered for auction here is a delightful example of the iconic Jaguar, fitted with an auto gearbox and finished in Westminster blue with a contrasting light grey leather interior.
The History
The seller, a fastidious collector of classics, added this XJ-S to his collection 9 years ago, purchasing it from the outgoing president of the Jaguar owners club – himself having owned and cherished the car for 13 years. Since, it has been enjoyed as a weekend toy, prized among a collection of other classics.
The Paperwork
Every MOT since 1994 has safely been kept in the records for the car, substantiating its 79,000 total miles covered and in July this year, it passed its MOT with no advisories, providing another year’s peace of mind for its next owner.
A comprehensive service history has been maintained with full Jaguar service history up until 61,000 miles at which point the servicing demands were taken on, almost exclusively, by a Jaguar specialist with the most recent service taking place in October of last year. In total, there are 23 stamps in the original service book and, along with original Jaguar handbooks, the current owner has kept numerous bills and correspondence relating to the car since its purchase, including a recent bill totalling £4,000 on new rear brakes, handbrake and ignition items to bring it into excellent condition for its new owner.

The Interior
Inside you’ll find that the vast majority of Jaguar’s extensive factory option boxes were ticked by the original owner in 1989, most notably the beautiful light grey interior which presents in fantastic condition. Electric windows, electric heated seats, cruise control and the original radio are all present and are said to be in perfect working order.
Minimal wear can be seen around the interior, with only slight abrasion noted on the driver’s seat and a small split to the veneer by the gearstick. The rear seats are said to never have been sat in and the original carpets are in excellent condition, as too is the roof lining which has been replaced in its lifetime.

In the boot, the original jack can be found in its bag, alongside its complete took kit and un-opened touch-up paints.
The Exterior
Wearing its original Westminster dark blue paint, this Jaguar is in exceptional cosmetic condition with no evidence of respray or welding work having been undertaken.
Unique side strips bearing the Jaguar logo offer a pleasant finishing touch to enhance the overall look. Remarkably, there are said to be no dents or scratches on this XJ-S, with the only minor blemish noted as being a small blister in the paint on the driver’s door which hasn’t caused enough of a detraction in the past 9 years for the seller to address it.
Front spotlights are present, along with original covers and the brightwork is in good condition all around with only slight wear. The wheels and tyres are both in excellent condition. Underneath, the car is said to have had underbody protection applied from new, seemingly responsible for the lack of rust noted.

The Mechanics
Thanks to the aforementioned, extremely well-maintained service record, this XJ-S is claimed to ‘start and stop like a new car’ by the seller.

The Appeal
A uniquely well cared for example of one of Jaguar’s most iconic outputs, found in exceptional condition that belies its age. Having enjoyed a pampered life from its enthusiast owners, this is a rare chance to own and enjoy a stunning Jaguar XJ-S that wants for nothing and is ready to turn heads with its smooth V12 and glorious looks.

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.
