The car sits on striking 5-spoke polished Jaguar rims and benefits from additional features including headlight washers, a half wood steering wheel, 6 CD changer, inlaid wood trim, space saver spare wheel, and heated lumbar support seats.

Maintenance & History: Originally supplied by H.R. Owen of London on 2nd June 1993, this particular XJS has been owned by The Vendor for the last 8 years, having purchased it from Clarke’s XJS World (now Clarke’s Jaguar) in Heathfield for £29,950 in 2016. The car is accompanied by an extensive history file that includes an insurance agreed valuation certificate from 2019 for £42,000, a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, invoices totaling c. £10,000 for parts, servicing, and labour and the original leather-bound Jaguar bookpack which encases the Driver’s Handbook, Quick Guide, Sound System Booklet, Security System Booklet, Vehicle Care Handbook, and Service Record. The Service Record contains 21 stamps, detailing services from 1993 at 1,629 miles to 2012 at 79,412 miles, with 13 stamps of those stamps from main dealers or specialists. The service history along with the MOT certificates verify the car’s current mileage of 81,596 as genuine. The car has covered just 2,000 miles over the last 12 years.

The Model: The Jaguar XJS is a luxury grand tourer, produced by Jaguar from 1975 to 1996. The 6.0-litre V12 variant was introduced in May 1992 under Ford’s ownership and falls under the final iteration of the XJS model. The enlarged V12 engine produces 306 BHP and to counter this Jaguar had to install a new four-speed automatic transmission with overdrivet. This specific model is one of only 81 6.0-Litre V12 Convertibles ever made, making it a rare and highly collectible piece of Jaguar’s heritage.

Sale Insight: This XJS offers an exceptional opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike. With its rare status, low mileage, and a documented history that demonstrates meticulous upkeep, it represents a sound investment. Given it’s rarity and condition, it is poised to command strong interest from potential buyers looking for a top-tier example of one of Jaguar’s iconic grand tourers.
