Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1989 Jaguar XJ-S Convertible with a 5.3L engine is presented as a drivable classic with a valid MOT until June 2026 and a good service history. Despite recent mechanical attention, the sale price of £3,200 fell short of its £4,000-£5,000 estimate, possibly due to the missing V5 trade slip and the general condition expected of an older vehicle.
Condition
6
The car starts and runs, has a valid MOT until June 2026, good tires, and a working convertible top. However, the description indicates it's a 'dad's old car' and mentions a missing trade slip from the V5, suggesting some wear and tear and potential for minor reconditioning typically associated with a car of this age and previous ownership.
