Excellent XJS V12 5.3 finished in striking red with contrasting cream leather interior. Considerable service history showing twenty one stamps in its original service book and with a current MOT until May 2017 and no advisories recorded, this is certainly an XJS to hold on to.

Only four previous keepers and c.115,739 miles. This Jaguar has a very desirable XJS plate which is included.

Well spec'd with heated seats, cruise control, onboard computer, electric windows, mirrors, electric lumbar support and an updated Kenwood CD player (original Jaguar unit in the boot).

Freshly serviced with Jaguar parts, and in addition replacement of the antiroll bar links and and bushes. Other recent and past service/maintenance invoicing shows expenditure of some £5,000 to ensure the car stayed in fine health.

There is some lacquer peel to the wood laminate in the centre console and some minor cosmetic imperfections (see photographs) but this XJS is a really rather smart example feeling very powerful and smooth at the time of our visit.
