The Jaguar XJ-S endured a troubled life in many ways due to the fact that it had to follow on from the E-Type.
A tall order for any car, especially as it looked so different, which was possibly a brave move on Jaguar’s part.
Now, the XJ-S is very much coming into its own world and becoming very desirable in every way, as it should be.
The prices some are achieving is testament to this, and good examples, like this one, are commanding higher and higher prices so now may be the best time to buy.
A nice genuine XJ-S convertible that is very well specified and ready to be enjoyed.
The Jaguar has spent much of its life in Germany, only being imported back to the UK in 2020, hence a lot of paperwork is in German.
It has been subject to extensive work carried in Germany to the sum of €12,254 over a four-year period, which included engine, brake and power steering overhauls.
It is supplied with Jaguar owner’s handbook, V5 and an array of invoices.
The XJ-S offers luxury and performance...
