1991 Jaguar XJS V12

Highlights

  • Rare color combination: gold exterior with red leather interior
  • Dry stored by current owner for the last 8 years

  • Recent mechanical overhaul including steering rack, suspension, and more

The Appeal

If you're a certain age, you'll remember your street being filled with people tutting in envy at the sight of the XJS rumbling down the street. Maybe your neighbour had a promotion, or a win on the pools, or had managed to convince his bank manager. Regardless of his means, the XJS was deeply aspirational, stylish and a by-word for the best of British touring. 

This particular 1991 example stands out with its distinctive, rare gold livery, paired with red leather interior. That's a rare combination and certainly stands out, packing the car with a truly luxury vibe. This distinctive V12-powered tourer has been dry stored by its current owner for the past eight years, and has now been returned to the road, polished up and powered up - ready and waiting to hit the road with the lucky new owner.

BEFORE YOU BUY 
This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following: 
The seller is registered as a private seller which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions.. 
We request that a non-refundable fee  be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates. 
This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is’ basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind. 
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing. 
We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence. 
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own  full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle. 
✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection
