For sale my 1981 Jaguar XJS V12 HE.

Bought as a light project. However, this old girl is competing for my attention against an extensive house restoration so reluctantly I have to let her go. She runs beautifully delivering effortless power thanks to the legendary V12 engine. Headlining in great shape, arches and sills rust free, gearbox very smooth.. She's had a bit of work done by the previous owner and myself: new brake calipers and discs, alternator belt, wiper motor, water pump, handbrake and four new tyres.
Bodywork is solid, no rust, and mechanically there are no problems. Paintwork is very good with no nicks or scrapes. The electrics all work fine too with no gremlins lurking. There are some bits that need a little work - the window seal on the passenger door needs replacing. The interior is worn but very comfortable (see photos). Historic vehicle so no road tax, MOT or ULEZ charges. Any questions, please ask.
