The Appeal
The Jaguar XJS was always intended to be a deeply aspirational car, and it carved out a remarkable reputation with the well-to-do executive. The V12 iteration, of course, is arguably the most legendary. A huge, buttery-smooth 12-cylinder tourer that was fast, capable and comfortable.
This particular example stands out for its originality and honest presentation, having been stored indoors as part of a small private collection of classic Jaguars. For enthusiasts who appreciate unrestored cars with genuine character, this example is bound to impress the lucky new owner.
