HIGHLIGHTS
- Good service history and low mileage

THE APPEAL
The Jaguar XJS was very much a luxurious Grand Tourer rather than a sportscar. Its ride is fabulously smooth and provides driver and occupants with fast, silent and effortless motoring on both short and long journeys.
This beautiful big convertible cat has the favoured Jaguar V12 engine and is clearly an XJS that has been very well cared for over its life and presents itself extremely well being in excellent health and shape.

Being in such fine original condition with very low mileage it will make a very usable car that can be enjoyed on a daily basis if required as well as being a classic Jaguar, the demand for which is very unlikely to ever fade.
