MOT to 12th April 2027 with just one advisory for headlamp performance
Reported to have undergone restoration work and been well maintained over the years, with paperwork retained
Reported to be driving very well

The Appeal

Unlike its E-Type predecessor, which began life with a straight-six powerplant and evolved into a V12 GT, the Jaguar XJ-S was launched with a V12 and later gained a more lithe character through the introduction of the all-new AJ6 engine during the mid-1980s. Much lighter than its V12 sibling, the six-cylinder XJ-S is among the most celebrated of the model's long lineage. That brings us on to this 3.6 Coupé with the optional four-speed auto gearbox from 1990 - among the last to be produced before the Geoff Lawson facelift.

Our Jag looks to be in very good condition for its age, complete with a long MOT, showing just one (very) minor advisory. It is reported to have undergone restoration work and been well maintained over the years, with paperwork retained. For those in search of a long-legged GT, this XJ-S would make a superb addition to your garage.
