Description:In Brief:
On the Surface: This is an example of a ‘Pre-HE’ Jaguar XJ-S 5.3. Finished in White, paired with a Red leather interior. The exterior presents in a respectable, presentable condition and is equipped with the revered 5.3-litre V12 engine. It currently shows just 20,376 miles on the odometer, believed to be accurate, though not supported by extensive documentation. Maintenance & History: While the vehicle runs and drives, it requires some recommissioning to return to its former glory. Potential buyers should anticipate some mechanical and cosmetic attention. The car is offered with a V5 document and a small collection of old MOT certificates, providing a limited history. The XJ-S has been in the care of the current registered keeper for an impressive 45 years, having been acquired in November 1979. Prior to that, it had just two former keepers. Its long-term ownership history underscores a well-loved, albeit minimally used, example of this luxury grand tourer. The Model: The Jaguar XJ-S, produced from 1975 to 1996 was marketed as a luxurious grand tourer to act as a replacement for the iconic E-Type. Early “Pre-HE” models, like this one, were produced between 1975 and 1981, with only 14,800 built. Featuring Jaguar’s robust 5.3-litre V12 engine, the XJ-S was available with manual and automatic transmission as Jaguar used up the last of the manual gearboxes from the E-Type. Once this stock was used Jaguar phased out the manual option. Known for its smooth power delivery and distinctive styling, the XJ-S remains a sought-after classic. Sale Insight: This particular example, offered at no reserve, represents a rare opportunity to acquire a “Pre-HE” XJ-S with a long-term ownership history. With a bit of investment in recommissioning, it could be a rewarding project for any classic Jaguar enthusiast looking to enjoy the legendary V12 experience. |
