Sold for £12,375
(including buyers premium)
Registration No: T.B.A.
Chassis No: SAJJNADW3DA154005
Mot Expiry: June 2015
Launched in September 1975, the XJ-S was designed by Malcolm Sayer with input from Sir William Lyons. Effectively a replacement for the legendary E-Type, it was nevertheless a luxurious, high-speed Grand Tourer rather than a race-bred Sports Car, and powered by a fuel-injected version of Jaguar's silky 5.3-litre V12 unit mated to either manual or automatic transmission. This notably handsome example was manufactured in 1988 and is resplendent in Metallic Pale Blue and Grey hide interior. It has remained within the same ownership for the last 15 years and has been protected from corrosion by Ziebart rust-proofing and storage in a de-humidified garage. The vendor currently considers the Jaguar to have 'excellent' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, V12 engine and automatic transmission, and is offering the XJ complete with leaping cat bonnet mascot, full service history and MOT into June 2015. The low indicated mileage of 44,000 is supported by the accompanying MOTs.
