The Plus
The Jaguar XJS could well be one of the most iconic GT cars in the history of the British marque. With its inimitable styling and perfect balance of performance and comfort, it's hardly surprising that it was the company's flagship car for some twenty years.
The car shown here is finished in British Racing Green and features the painted factory bodywork edging, as opposed to the self-adhesive edging more commonly found on this model.
Originally based in the USA, this highly desirable example comes with a full history of invoices from both the USA and France. The car has undergone a great deal of recent work and, to our eyes, appears to be in perfect condition.
