It benefited from the facelift improvements introduced by Ford in 1992, notably the V12 engine with 29 fiscal horsepower, delivering 295 bhp, among the last produced in the series; Jaguar offers a driving experience that is both luxurious and high-performing.
Launched in 1975, the XJS succeeded the legendary E-Type, in the spirit of the Aston Martin V8 and Ford Mustang.
The car is sound, no rust, and drives perfectly; the automatic gearbox shifts smoothly.
Exterior condition:
The bodywork is 30 years old, in very good overall condition; the original paint presents very well.
Interior condition:
The interior: ivory leather upholstery "Magnolia" from English heritage attests to its reputation; it is pleasantly patinated. The woods have beautiful colours, faithful to their original sheen.
The convertible hood’s headliner is in very good condition and shows no sealing issues…
If there is genuine serious interest, a passionate and truly interested buyer, I am available for any further information, photos, or for viewing the car in Paris.
Thank you for your interest.
