• This car has lived an interesting life so far, now it's up to you to write the next chapter of its life

 The Interior

• Upon opening the door of this XJS you are struck with an amazing interior 
• Trimmed in a combination of premium leather and wood veneer it is the place to be 
• The front seats fitted to this XJS are in incredible condition 
• For a car of its age, you’d expect some signs of wear and tear, but there is no such damage on these seats
• The leather is presented in very good condition indeed
• These front seats are also electrically operated and heated, adding an extra level of luxury
• In the rear, the seats are also in great condition 
• A lot of the dashboard and centre console are also trimmed in this leather
• Another key feature on the interior of this XJS is the wood veneer
• Sometimes this veneer can peel/crack over the years due to UV exposure
• As you can see from the photos the veneer that is fitted to this Jaguar is in great condition 
• There is no sun bleaching or other damage present to the veneer
• The current owner has installed a new radio that has Bluetooth connectivity 
• They also mentioned that the air conditioning was not functioning 
• This did however give us an opportunity to test the electric windows 
• Both of the windows went up and down on the button without any worrying noises
• Another area of the interior that was very clean for the photograph was the carpets
• This carpeting also extends into the cavernous boot space
• Back here you’ll find the full-size spare wheel, this spare wheel has a new Falken tyre fitted
• Overall, the interior of this XJS is in very good condition
• We got to experience the interior when the car was taken for a drive to the photoshoot location, and it was very comfortable

 The Exterior 

• Externally this XJS looks amazing 
• Its characteristic flying buttresses on the rear and intricate alloy wheels make for a great-looking car
• Finished in a lovely green it stands out from the car 
• During the photoshoot, no large or obvious areas of bubbling, lacquer peel, or other damage was observed 
• There are a few nicks to the paintwork but no large areas that’ll require immediate repairs
• Adorning the exterior is a lot of silver brightwork 
• All of this brightwork is presented in amazing condition, there is no pitting or corrosion present
• On each corner, you’ll find an intricate alloy wheel 
• All of these alloys are in very good condition and are wrapped in a set of Falken tyres
• At the front of the car, the lower chin spoiler looks to be in good visual condition
• The headlights and fog lights have both got clear, crack-free lenses
• The story is the same for smoked rear lenses they are also clean and crack free
• Overall, the exterior of this XJS is in rather good condition indeed 
• This car will look amazing sitting on your drive or at any car show you take it to

 The Mechanics 

• Under the bonnet of this Jaguar, you’ll find a 5.3L V12 engine 
• This smooth and quiet engine provides a lot of grunt to pull you down the road
• Over the year this engine has been kept serviced within its service intervals 
• Its most recent full service was in June 2023 
• It has also recently had a steering rack overhaul and also two brake calipers in 2018
• On the day of the photos, the car was taken out for a drive
• It performed this task impeccably with no worrying noises
• The V12 fired into life effortlessly and purred away quietly
• On the road, its soft suspension soaked up the uneven road surface and never felt uncomfortable 
• Its automatic gearbox shifted between its four speeds smoothly
• When manoeuvring around the location it never complained and was easy to work with
• Thanks to all of its previous work it is now presented in great mechanical condition 
• The current owner has used this car as their daily vehicle and has never had a problem in doing so
