Well-maintained with a comprehensive history of receipts
Current MOT valid until May 2024
The Appeal
The Jaguar XJ-S represents British luxury and performance. Introduced in 1975 with uniquely - perhaps even decidedly un-Jaguar - styling, this angular, heavy-buttressed car was an unexpected step away from Coventry tradition. It's now one of the most successful cars in the company's history, aided by top-notch performance and a distinctive character.
This 1989 example showcases the XJ-S's charm. The car's black-on-black paint and interior combination perfectly matches those angular lines, and that huge V12 powerplant offers smooth riding with plenty of power under the bonnet. It's a very impressive package.
This Jaguar has been well-maintained rather than restored, preserving its original charm. The car's condition, along with its comprehensive history of receipts, makes it a compelling consideration for any enthusiast.
