Supplied new by Mann Egerton & Co. of Norwich and displaying original rear dealer number plate and window sticker

Manufactured in 1988, the XJ-S offered was supplied new via Mann Egerton & Co. Ltd of Norwich, being delivered on the 16th of November 1988. Pleasingly still displaying its Mann Egerton rear number plate and rear window sticker, the Jaguar is fitted with the 5343cc V12 engine allied to the automatic transmission. Finished in the attractive colour combination of Alpine Green paintwork with complementary Tan leather interior upholstery and a Brown hood. Entering into current ownership in 2013, ‘F171 AAH’ has had just four former keepers and has covered a mere 39,565 miles from new (at time of consignment), across the five total owners.

The XJ-S has benefitted from a replacement brake master cylinder, front brake pads and front brake calipers in 2020 at the cost of some £1,200. Accompanied by the owner's handbook, the original stamped service book illustrating eight stamps (all from Jaguar main dealers), a collection of previous MOTs, invoices and tax discs, and a current V5C document. The vendor rates the bodywork, electrical equipment, and gearbox as ‘very good’ and the paintwork, engine, and interior trim as ‘very good to excellent’. Unfortunately, the soft-top was not working during the photo session, however, this is due to be rectified in time for the sale.
