Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1989 Jaguar XJ-S Convertible presents exceptionally well with just 25,311 miles, two former keepers, and an advisory-free MOT until March 2027. It boasts a Solent Blue exterior and Cream leather interior, with extensive service history, including significant recent expenditure.
While the exterior paint and bodywork are largely free of significant blemishes, there are minor stone chips and scratches noted. The interior is well-preserved but could benefit from a professional cleaning and conditioning, and has minor trim cracks. Mechanically sound, the car is described as a 'money-no-object' example, appealing to a discerning enthusiast.

Something of a Jaguar collector, he asked Classic Motor Cars Ltd to give it the onceover, which resulted in a bill for £6,000.
