1994 Jaguar XJS Cabriolet

Highlights


• Excellent condition throughout
• Drives incredibly well
• Long MOT and ready to enjoy


The Background 

After many years of development, the original XJ-S launched in 1975. In 1989, Ford bought Jaguar and updated the production line with all new equipment, and in 1991, gave the XJ-S a facelift with significant mechanical changes, rebranding it as the XJS. 

This new XJS has excellent build quality and the improved 4.0L straight six engine offers the perfect combination of performance, reliability and better fuel mileage. The new XJS features all round improved styling, and this, combined with the mechanical improvements, mean the XJS was finally the car Jaguar had always wanted it to be. 
Production of the XJS ended in 1996 and since then, those built after 1991 have become more and more sought after as the fabulous grand tourers they are. 

The History 

The current owners bought the car in September 2020 with the intention of touring Europe in style, however the pandemic put an end to that plan and now, due to a move, they have decided to sell this wonderful XJS. 
 
It has always been kept garaged (and it shows) and has only had occasional use for classic club events and touring the beautiful Exmoor countryside on sunny days. The owners have kept the car in the same fantastic condition they bought it in and it comes with a long MOT ready for the new owner to enjoy. The private plate is included in the sale.

The Paperwork 

There is a fair amount of paperwork with the vehicle, and due to the relatively low mileage and the excellent condition it has been kept in, there has been no call for any major work. 

All servicing has been carried out at the recommended intervals and there are Jaguar Main Dealer service stamps in the book up until 2017. The original Jaguar owner's manuals are included.

The Interior

The interior is in excellent condition throughout, the only exception being small sections behind the rear seats where the soft top has caught them on retraction. For the interior to be absolute perfection, some attention would be required. Air conditioning system was recharged in Sept. 2021 and works very effectively, as does the heater.

The leather, stitching and wood trim is all in very good condition and looks superb. All the details are very good, even the carpet in the boot looks great and the genuine original Jaguar toolkit is included and like new.

This car is an exceptionally comfortable place to be and will turn heads on a short trip in to town or on a grand tour alike.  Sheer elegance and travelling with style exudes from this vehicle. It has been fitted with a modern Kenwood Radio/CD with USB port for convenience, but the original Jaguar radio is included with the car.


The Exterior 

The exterior mirrors the excellent condition of the interior. With an instantly recognisable classic shape and style, the XJS is a car that makes an impression wherever it goes and this one is no exception. Finished in British Racing Green and with the hood down there are few finer looking British classic cars.
 
The paint and chrome work are all in very good condition.  This particular XJS features upgraded wheels which, as with the rest of the vehicle, are in superb condition. 

The headlights have been upgraded to the twin style which significantly improves the overall look of the car and increases night time visibility.  The original headlamps are of course included in the sale.  Also included are two made-to-measure XJS specific covers; a dust cover for use in a garage and a cover for exterior use, which has not been used as the car has been kept garaged.

The Mechanics 

This XJS drives beautifully and mechanically this car is in fantastic condition and provides a smooth and luxurious driving experience. Having been kept garaged the car appears free from corrosion and the 4.0L straight six sounds marvellous with no unexpected noises. 

Worth noting is just how good the mechanical operation of the hood is, smoothly and quickly raising and lowering with no issues. There is some wear to the rear of the hood as shown in the images. 

As can be seen in the images, the engine bay is almost immaculate, and this is representative of the care taken keeping this car in such good condition.

The Appeal 

The XJS is an iconic British GT car that's hard not to love, however finding the right one can be tricky. This is that one. In fantastic condition throughout, both mechanically and aesthetically with the best engine of all of the options, finished in the best colour and it’s a convertible to boot. 

This XJS provides a luxurious driving experience with a combination of refinement and panache that few other cars can equal. With it’s elegant design and drop top this XJS is at home touring quaint coastal villages as it is cruising down the autobahn. We don’t often see such fine examples of these great Jaguars, bid quickly, this one won’t be around for long.

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.
