Description
Sir David Suchet aka Poirot is reluctantly selling his beautiful and totally original XJS. This is a late XJS variant registered 1st January 1996 with the silky smooth AJ16 4. 0L 6 cylinder engine and a three speed automatic gearbox. This car is near concourse condition and 100% original. This 30 year old car has 24 MOT certificates without a single advisory. There are 18 service stamps for the lifetime of this incredibly low mileage car that has rarely seen rain and has been garaged it's entire life. The car has to be seen to be truly believed and it is a time capsule to 1996. There would only be a small amount of detailing on the engine bay to make this an original car concourse competitor or winner. Everything on the car works and there is no rust and the engine starts and runs like a new car. Super smooth drive with no squeaks bangs clunks or anything that would cause any concerns. Sir David fondly refers to his car as the Duchess and he is selling the car for personal reasons. As a collector, restorer and expert of the XJS I am helping Sir David to sell his car. Viewing and test driving with me at the wheel unless insurance is proved is available any day of the week or time of the day. Not sure of we are experts then please Google and review the incredibly detailed nut and bolt work we undertake on other XJ-S cars at The Classic Mechanic business to understand how much we know about these cars. This is one of the best condition original cars we have ever seen with the added provenance of being the legendary Hercule Poirots car which ran for 25 years from 1989 to 2013 with 78 episode syndicated to 28 countries. The successful buyer will deal directly with and meet in person Sir David Suchet. The colour is Metallic Ice Blue with grey interior. Original carpets in the car and the original oblong headlamps are with the car in case you want to change them back for concourse events. One of the few most original, best condition XJS left in the world.
