Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a rare 1989 Jaguar XJR-S, one of only 326 with a 5.3L V12 engine, that has been in storage for 14 years. It starts and runs but requires recommissioning, presenting an opportunity for enthusiasts to restore a low-volume TWR/Jaguar sports car.
Condition
5
The car requires recommissioning after 14 years in storage. While it starts, runs, and moves, the brakes are binding, and there are blisters on the bodywork, along with headlining sag. The last MOT was in 2009, indicating minimal use since then. This suggests that while the car is fundamentally sound, it needs work to be roadworthy.
