Remarkably well preserved, ‘XJF 980’ was acquired by its current registered keeper during July 1988. Taken to France thereafter, the Jaguar spent over twenty years in dry storage before being repatriated and treated to approximately £13,500 worth of recommissioning works by marque specialist M&C Wilkinson. Warranted to have covered just 66,000 miles from new, the 2+2-seater is described by the vendor as ‘a very original car that drives extremely well’. Rating the 5.3 litre V12 engine, automatic transmission, electrical equipment, bodywork and Brown leather upholstery as ‘excellent’, he deems the Metallic Red paintwork to be ‘very good’. Offered for sale with handbooks, old MOT / tax disc, two keys and fresh MOT Certificate, this wonderful XJ-S is a true timewarp even down to its Dutton Forshaw of Preston dealer number plates.

Estimate £12,000 - £14,000
