The Appeal
By the mid-'90s, the XJS was a twenty-year-old design. Knowing its production life was nearing an end, Jaguar commissioned a highly equipped 'Celebration' model with an abundance of special trim. This 4.0-litre AJ6-engined model offers a balance of power and smoothness, wrapped in a package that continues to turn heads decades after production.
This 1996 example stands out with its Glacier White exterior, comprehensive documentation including the original window sticker, and a clean Carfax report confirming its damage-free history and warranted mileage. With all import duties and VAT already paid, this XJS offers a straightforward entry into classic Jaguar ownership for European buyers who can be the first to register this car in their country of choice.
