The Appeal
America, arguably, got the best if the XJS. Just 200 lucky customers got one of these, a Classic Collection model sporting exclusive colours - in this case Oyster Metallic - plus upgraded interiors and trim.
Those bespoke features build on what is already very appealing about the XJS - namely its svelte looks and silky-smooth 5.3L V12 engine. Few classic convertibles as are relaxing to simply cruise around in as a good XJS.
This car was sold new in the USA and is now resident in Europe. It presents well with tidy bodywork and well kept interior. The clean CARFAX report verifies the mileage of 83185 miles.
For the buyer looking for the ultimate trans-continental GT - and a rare version at that - this one looks very appealing.
