Registration No: F818 NCN
Chassis No: SAJJNAEC3CA160913
MOT: July 2021

• Purchased by the vendor's late husband in April 1990, with just two former keepers
• Accident damaged when less than a year old, but repaired using a brand new bodyshell (supplied by Henleys Ltd at a cost of £4292.50)
• MOT tested in 2020, following 12 years of dry storage

Introduced in October 1983, the Jaguar XJ-S 3.6 was intended to be a sharper, more sporting foil to the range's established, soporific 5.3 litre V12 model. To emphasise the difference, it was fitted with a five-speed manual Getrag gearbox as standard. With some 225bhp and 240lbft of torque on tap courtesy of its 3590cc DOHC 24 valve straight-six, the claimed 140mph top speed and 0-60mph time of 7.4 seconds were a near match for the V12. Yet when such performance was not called upon, it could reputedly return thirty miles per gallon, a feat beyond the V12's capabilities. A revised, more positive feel to the power steering improved the handling still further.

Offered with a comprehensive history file including a stamped service book, purchase receipts (including those for both the car and replacement bodyshell), a collection of old MOT certificates and a full set of workshop manuals; 'F818 NCN' started and ran well during our recent photography session. This extremely low-mileage XJS coupe would however now benefit from some attention to the aesthetics and is offered entirely without reserve. Some of the interior was removed for freshening, but is included in the boot and work carried out pre-MOT inspection included the replacement of two front brake discs, pads and shock absorber bushes, whilst two radius arms were replaced on the back axle. The petrol tank was also flushed a replacement pump fitted at this time.

'F818 NCN' offers a unique oppurtunity to purchase a much-cherished and low mileage classic British coupe from long-term single ownership - a very worthwhile project and a lot worthy of close inspection.
