The Appeal
The combination of low, low and distinctive XJS styling and Jaguar’s superlative V12 engine delivers one of the best GT convertibles of the last 40 years. No wonder that good examples are returning from the USA to Europe.
This Platinum Silver metallic 1992 V12 is one of the later facelift cars with improved galvanised body. It is a USA market car that has covered less than 82,000 miles form new. It is in good order for its age.
The car comes with a clean CARFAX report and evidence of good maintenance. Recent work includes two services within the last 1,500 miles.
The car is sold with USA title and Dutch importation documentation with duties and taxes paid.
