Description
Welcome to the sale of my stunning and show winning 1989 Jaguar XJ-S V12 finished in glorious Solent blue with contrasting magnolia Connolly hide and isis blue piping, carpets and original genuine Jaguar over mats.
This is a genuine low owner, low mileage car covering just 62000 miles from new. This XJ-S runs and drives like a Jaguar should with no squeaks or rattles at all and in almost complete silence. Just a gentle burble from that wonderful V12 that pulls you along effortlessly.
Recent work carried out is a braking system overhaul with new discs, pads and callipers also the ABS unit rebuilt at great expense. Also a full stainless steel exhaust system was fitted a few years ago. Routine maintenance is carried out regularly if the car needs it or not.
The bodywork is in stunning condition with beautiful paint and bright work. Detailed and polished to the highest standards by myself including all door shuts, under bonnet and wheel arches. The underneath is clean and has never been welded, just nicely under sealed with all panels and cavities being treated with Dinatrol. Some additional Dynamat sound deadening has been added to the roof skin to aid sound quality and a new old stock Jaguar sport TWR steering wheel finished in matching isis blue adds a slightly sportier feel. (Original wheel in perfect unworn condition) and comes with the car.
The high specification interior is beautiful and incredibly clean and tidy. You could even say as new with all leather, trim and carpets with no wear, stains, rips or holes. Roof lining new and not sagging and walnut veneer still superb. Switchgear is all working correctly and as it should with an addition of a high quality Alpine audio system.
All mechanicals are great, engine runs beautifully and keeps cool with no leaks also does not use or burn oil. Gearbox changes nicely as expected and the axle is quiet. All grease points also done and steering rack recently overhauled.
The XJ-S comes with its full and complete service book documentation with a comprehensive Jaguar main dealer and specialist service history. All paperwork, bills, invoices old MOT’s etc retained in two thick binders and files with two sets of original keys.
The car sits on its correct all matching Pirelli P600 235/ 60x15 tyres and cleaned and polished original lattice wheels.
Everything works down to the original electric aerial although the air con could do with a re-gas as it’s still running the original R12 system but still blows cool rather than cold but has never bothered me. With the Jaguar XJ-S celebrating its 50th birthday this coming September this is the perfect time to get on board with the right car. With values on the rise now is a great time acquire this stunning XJ-S. having owned and deeply enjoyed her since 2018 it’s time with great regret for me to move on with another classic. (Believe me if could keep her I would)
The car has been used sparingly for summer use only and classic car shows and events, and never used in the rain or winter months. Garaged correctly in a clean, dry and heated environment.
This car is ready to be used, shown and enjoyed by the new owner and will receive a new MOT shortly as it’s up for renewal soon.
Now, Polite notice time.
Good Jaguar XJ-S’s are getting difficult to find and with this in mind PLEASE PLEASE NO TIME WASTERS or DREAMERS! I am happy to wait for the right and proper offer so (NO) unrealistic and stupid offers as they will just be disregarded.
Also the private number plate shown will NOT be included in the sale as it’s been promised to my daughter for when she’s able to drive and she’ll kill me if it goes with the car. However it will remain on a 1989 G registration.
Please call me after 6pm weekdays and Saturdays due to my work commitments.
Many thanks for your interest for what is a beautiful Jaguar
