Highlights
• Superb original condition
• Well cared for and dry stored
• 6 litre V12
The Background
The E Type was always going to be a hard act to follow, but by the time the Series 3 finished it had evolved into a grand tourer, and the new XJ-S followed this mould, styled by the legendary designer Malcom Sayer and powered over the years by either straight 6 or V12 engines.
After a various updates the car was facelifted in 1991 after Ford brought the company into the Premier Automotive Group, and as well as updates styling the V12 was enlarged to 6 litres with a new gearbox.

The History
The car was bought by the current owner in 2009 and has kept it in an air conditioned garage for as long as he has had it.
The previous keeper also kept it indoors and the log books show it has covered just a few thousand miles each year, ideal for keeping it running well without putting much wear on the car.

The Paperwork
Supplied new by TWR Jaguar in Oxford and the original number plates and dealer window sticker are included.
There is an interesting double-up in the Jaguars history, as it appears the service book was lost when fairly new, and a replacement issued by the dealer, before the original was found.

In more recent years it has been maintained by Clarke’s Jaguar in East Sussex who have taken care of a service and maintenance.
The Interior
The cabin has fared very well, with the cream leather looking barely used with just the lightest of patina on the drivers seat, and the light carpets only showing a couple of marks in the drivers footwell.
There are elements of its 1970s roots visible in the gear selector and dash layout but brought up to date for the early 90s with the addition of then modern looking switchgear and airbags. The wood inserts though are timeless and are as new.
The dash top is perfect and door cards and in fact every other aspect of the interior looks fantastic.
In the boot is the original CD changer and complete toolkit. The boot carpets are very clean and the alloy spare wheel is in excellent condition.

The Exterior
Having been kept in an air conditioned garage as long as the current owner has owned it, and previously in well ventilated indoor storage its no surprise the Jag is in outstanding cosmetic condition.
The paint is untroubled by stone chips or scratches and is remarkably swirl free with a deep shine and depth to the metallic blue. The two tone factory pinstripes are also crisp and sharp.
The power hood works as it should and is in beautiful shape inside and out with no creases or tears to the outer fabric or headlining. The rear window is glass and heated and the tonneau cover is good.
The alloy wheels are excellent, theres no curb damages and thanks to brake dust shields which have been fitted for many years the surface isn’t pitted or stained by brake dust, and it wears a full set of premium quality Pirelli Cinturato tyres with good tread all around.
A previous owner fitted a Jaguar Leaper in place of the badge, however the badge does come with the car.
Mechanics
Arguably the most impressive and desirable engine option, the 6 litre V12 is an epic piece of engineering.
Looking under the car its clear its had light use and been dry stored and well cared for, the chassis is clean and appears in excellent corrosion free shape.

The appeal
The XJS is becoming increasingly desirable as they age gracefully, perhaps becoming even more desirable than a series E Type.
Being a late car, from the post final facelift years it benefits from the years of production improvements and of course the V12 in 6 litre form is not just rare but something we will likely never see produced again, making it even more desirable and collectable.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
