The Appeal
When Ford took over Jaguar, they did so with an eye for rationalisation and efficiency. It was a relatively minor set of changes to the layman, but between the new car's simplified body construction, improved rustproofing, and revised interior. It brought the formula up to snuff for the discerning '90s GT aficionado, and now sits proudly as a deeply aspirational, capable classic.
Finished in a striking Solid Black, with a rich, contrasting Parchment cabin, this fine XJS was first bought from Creamer Jaguar in Kensington and has since been enjoyed by just five former registered keepers over its lifetime. The car retains its original paintwork with the distinctive coachline, straight panels, and a well-preserved interior.
While currently requiring recommissioning after a period of storage, this XJS offers the potential to own one of the most elegant and powerful GT cars of its era.
