The Appeal
When Ford acquired Jaguar in 1990, it was good news for contemporary buyers and modern-day enthusiasts. The XJS got a proper makeover that included a facelift, corrosion-resistant galvanised bodies and much-improved quality.
This 1992 5.3L V12 coupe is one of the small number of ‘transition’ cars that got some of the features of the facelift cars but retained the attractive chrome bumpers of the earlier models. It is a very low mileage example, its history verified by a clean CARFAX report from its time in the USA.
Finished in the appealing combination of Flamenco Pearl metallic paintwork with well-kept Doeskin leather cabin, this is a very well preserved example of one of motoring’s best GT cars. The car is sold with USA title and EU importation documentation.
