The Condition

The car has been kept in climate-controlled, dry conditions since 2016, which is really shown in its condition

No structural corrosion to note

Paintwork is in good condition but the pinstripes do require a little TLC

The colour is unusual and creates a particularly interesting combo with the Royal Blue hood

Car has been fitted with American-style twin headlights rather than the usual rectangular single headlights

All badges are present and correct

Original alloys look in fine order

Internally, the car is still in fine order

Some light wear to the upholstery, commensurate with age

No sign of any rips or tears

Walnut veneers are well-presented

All instruments are bright and legible

Storage spots and vanity mirrors are all in fine order

Carpets are showing their age and may need replacing/refurbishing

The Mechanics

Powered by the very well-regarded 4.0L AJ6 I6 powerplant

4-speed automatic transmission

Engine bay looks in fine fettle

We've no reports of any mechanical issues

The car is reportedly starting, shifting, braking and driving exactly as it should

Ultimately, this looks to be an utterly superb example of a highly desirable, unique XJS
