1989 JAGUAR XJ-S V12 COUPE

KEY FACTS

• A wonderful example of the classic grand tourer, presented in superb unrestored condition.
• Under the long front hood lies the 5.3-litre naturally aspirated V12, paired with a three-speed automatic transmission.
• The car is accompanied by a particularly detailed maintenance history.

EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

• This XJ-S is finished in the elegant hue of Glacier White over a Doeskin leather interior.
• Equipment includes air conditioning, power steering, cruise control, and electric windows.
• Impressively, the car has been maintained in its original factory condition, with its original running gear, paintwork, upholstery and interior trim items.
• It will be sold with all of its original books, delivery materials and tools, as well as an excellent service history from new, mostly performed by Jaguar main dealers.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.
• The Glacier White paintwork is understood to be completely original, and is in very good condition, with only minor stone chips around the car.
• Inside, the original upholstery is still in place and has been beautifully preserved, with a light, time-earned patina and some very minor wear on the driver’s seat bolster.
• The headlining has recently been replaced with an item from Jaguar specialists SNG Barratt UK, though this is the only known new section of trim. The dashboard and door cards are very smart, and there is one small mark on the back corner of the centre console.
• There are no known electrical or mechanical faults.
• A roadworthiness inspection was carried out earlier this year, resulting in a pass with no warnings or advisories.

SERVICE HISTORY

• A minor service was carried out in January 2021.
• Prior to this, annual services were carried out in 2020 and 2019, and the car has received regular maintenance throughout its life, which is documented in its detailed service history – shown in the photo gallery below.
