Seller's description:
A stunning and very early Jaguar XJ-S Pre-HE finished in Sebring Red with Black leather, complimented by newly refurbished Kent alloy wheels shod with pin stripe White wall tyres. This car has been in long term storage as part of a private Jaguar collection in Holland. The car is now back on a UK registration and has a new V5, the car also has a Heritage certificate showing it as an October 1976 car. This is a very nice and solid early car, note the chrome " B " post finisher only found on very early cars. Those who knows these cars will see the car has been fitted with later and prettier HE bumpers, along with the interior wood trim. Both of these are very easy to remedy should the new owner wish to put the car back to original spec, all the pre HE bumper parts are readily available here on Ebay. Recent expenditure includes fully refurbished Kent alloy wheels, new front brake calliper and all new brake flexi pipes, new rear suspension, new air con dryer, air con expansion valve, air con condenser and air con re-gas, so it now has ice cold air con and on modern gas. These big cats especially the very early cars such as this are now becoming very sought after and are only rising in price. The car comes with an MOT to July 2019 and is tax exempt.

Paint and panel work are both superb, mechanically strong with excellent oil pressure, smooth gear changes and excellent brakes, all the tyres have plenty of life in them and look hardly used, the Kent alloy wheels have just been refurbished, a stainless steel exhaust system is fitted. Both electric windows work, central door locking works, all gauges work, all interior lights work and the air con works . The interior is in excellent condition with pleasant patination to the leather and a good head lining with no damage or sagging. Comes with recent invoices, current V5 and heritage certificate.
