1987 Jaguar XJS Convertible 5.3 V12 *Barn Find* For Sale

This Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible has been in dry storage for the past 12 years and its a great find for someone to get it back to its former glory.

The car has been washed off as per the photos and looks good for its age.

The car has a very valuable number plate JAG 342V that will be sold with the car. Reg Marks of London have valued the number alone at £1500 but its FREE with the car.

These Jaguars are becoming stronger in value and i guarantee next summer you will struggle to buy good examples of XJS Cabriolets below £20, 000 to £30, 000

This example is finished in metallic red with cream leather interior and it has the twin headlight conversion which looks fab.

The alloy wheels are in great condition the tyres are good but with age i would recommend replacing them.

The car was professionally looked at checking all the levels and fuel before starting it up and it was driven 6 weeks ago for 7 miles from its storage facility to a local garage. The engine and gearbox is fine.

The exterior paintwork is very good for its year and it only has a few minor rust bubbles as per the photos. It would benefit from a few panels being painted due to some paint fade on the rear boot plus a few rust bubbles on the rear panels.

The sills and floor are perfect and all the jacking points are solid. This isn't the usual XJS rust bucket its a good solid car with good door and wing gaps all round.

The interior would benefit from new carpets and the leather needs either treating or recolouring.

The odometer is showing 51, 000 miles and I have the current V5 I can't prove the mileage but don't doubt it either.

The roof panels fit perfectly and just need lining on the inside which is a very easy fix. The rear canvas roof needs a new lining inside but the outside is fine and looks good they just need a deep clean.

Please remember this is a 32 year old car that has been off the road for 12 years and it need some TLC and restoration its not a £30, 000 mint car but it is a very solid car that would make an easy project for someone with the time and knowledge.

The car will need to be transported away or I can arrange delivery at a reasonable cost anywhere in the UK.

These cars are getting rare with only an handful for sale on websites in the UK.
