The vendor states that this beautiful XJS celebration has had 4 previous keepers. He has owned it since February 2010, and purchased it from the reputable independent Jaguar dealers Arun. It has had a full Jaguar stamped Service History, but since the vendor purchased it he has had it regularly serviced locally. It has been Waxoil protected underneath., always garaged and used regularly for purely pleasure and social. It is one of the best XJS's he has ever driven and he has owned 4! It competes very well with today's traffic, it could easily be used as a daily driver. The condition is excellent, the upholstery is in great condition. It breaks his heart to see it go but a classic Jaguar purchase forces him to sell it to make garage space.
Guide Price: £6000 to £7500

This lovely XJS was purchased from Arun Jaguar in February 2010, it had 4 previous owners and was serviced and main dealer stamped up to 2009 after which the vendor had it serviced and mot'd regularly at a local reputable independent garage.

This celebration XJS is a very usable example. The interior is excellent apart from the headlining which has been corrected using upholstery screws as recommended in a Jaguar Enthusiast article. The body work has a minor rust spot on the roof and bonnet which the vendor repaired. The offside sill had some rust ingress which the vendor removed, but the car was wax oyled when the vendor purchased it in 2010. The vendor states the car drives extremely well and starts without fail and the engine runs well. The air conditioning requires attention. The car has always been garaged and dry stored and has only been used in summer months. This XJS would be a fabulous daily driver and the colour makes it very pretty and a real head turner. It recently had a new alternator fitted. There are some advisories on the most recent MOT, being suspension arm pin/bush worn and both trailing rear arm front bushes are worn. There is age related surface corrosion to suspension components.
