THE APPEAL
If you were to create a list of the UK’s Top 10 appreciating classics, then the Jaguar XJS would be right up there near the top. Over the past few years, the striking coupe and convertible have seen a huge upsurge in interest, with the best example snow fetching well over double what they did four or five years ago.
The XJS, then, has come of age. Cheap ones are long gone. But then, they were never the good ones. This example is a really interesting one – a first stage facelift model from late 1991, making it one of the very first XJSs to get darkened smoke grey taillights and interior upgrades, but short of the full-fat facelift that brough in bigger bumpers and a 6.0-litre V12 engine.
THE HISTORY AND PAPERWORK
- 110,000 miles
- Service book stamped to 100k
- MOT until April 2023
- Recently recommissioned with bills to support
- Long term previous owner
When the vendor acquired the XJS it had been off the road for almost a decade, stored in the previous owner’s garage. He had owned the car since 1991 and it had always been garaged.
The car has covered a mere 10,000 miles in the past 23 years, as backed up by the service book, which shows it had done 100,000 miles in 1999, when the book was last stamped. It has been serviced independently since, annually up until 2012 when it was parked up and again recently when it returned to the road.
It comes with a number of invoices for recent work including over £2,000 spent on getting the driver’s seat and armrest refurbished, replacement tyres and general repair work to return it to road legal condition. It has an MOT until April 2023 and a UK V5C.
THE INTERIOR
- Tan leather
- Refurbished seat and armrest
- Excellent veneers
- Original radio-cassette player
The interior of any XJS is a very special place in which to sit and this one is no exception, with gorgeous tan leather upholstery and thick Wilton carpets, offset by pale maple veneers. It’s all very smart, helped in no small part by the £600 spent by the owner on having the driver’s seat and centre armrest retrimmed. It’s in great condition as a result.
The original and sought-after Jaguar radio-cassette player is present and the LCD trip computer works well, though why anybody would want to see their instant MPG in a V12 Jaguar is beyond us!
THE EXTERIOR
- Rare Regency Red
- Well-presented
- Unusual late-spec alloys
The XJs is finished in Flamenco Red, a colour introduced for the 1992 model year (of which this is a very early example) and continued for just two years.
It’s largely original though it has had some paint and welding repairs in its past, but most of the paint is that applied in the factory and it still looks great, offset by smart five-spoke alloys that were only offered between late 1991 and 1994.
THE MECHANICS
- 5.3 V12 auto
- Recent brakes, tyres and suspension bushes
- Runs and drives very well
Jaguar’s 5.3-litre V12 is one of the all-time classic British engines and despite the mass of pipework on display it’s not as daunting as it looks.
This one starts on the first flip of the key and sounds and runs well. It has been fully serviced during its recommission and the brakes and suspension have also been partly overhauled. The vendor says it drives very well with no issues to disclose.
SUMMARY
This is a very straight, smart and good-looking example of an early facelift XJS, which in V12 form is one of the less common XJS variants. Returned to the road after a lay-up, it has the benefit of being recently serviced and thoroughly checked over ready to be used and enjoyed again. Here’s a great opportunity to get a rare XJS in an even rarer colour scheme.

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.
