Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1980 Jaguar XJS is a Pre-HE model with a 5.3-litre V12 engine, finished in Squadron Blue with a tan leather interior. It is currently non-running and requires mechanical recommissioning, but it comes with many spare parts and has an unusually well-preserved interior for its age.

Condition

3

The car is described as a 'non-runner' that 'requires mechanical recommissioning before returning to use'. The car needs a new fuel tank and exhaust refitting and although the engine turns, it is not in running condition. Cosmetically, half of the car has been polished and the headlining is sagging.

Description Previously part of the Land Rover Heritage Collection Non-runner Comes with lots of spares HPI clear When Jaguar launched the XJS in 1975 as the replacement for the legendary E-Type, the world wasn’t quite ready for its avant-garde styling.

But the car’s unique blend of grace, pace and space won it a devoted following.

Today, the earliest Pre-HE models are especially sought after for their purity of design and originality.

This 1980 example is one such car, making it a particularly appealing opportunity.

History & Ownership Our vendor acquired the Jaguar as a project in March 2021 (V5 currently in trade) with a view to putting the car back on the road.

Sadly, due to lack of time, this never happened.

At some point in its life, half of the Jaguar has been polished up and two of the wheels diamond cut, possibly while on display in the collection.
