This example is a big bumper 1993 4.0 litre XJS Convertible, which is now becoming quite rare. The car has covered just 119,000 miles, which is quite low for the age, and comes with an MOT until March 2022. The previous owner had the car for 18 years and used it daily. He had it looked after mechanically on a regular basis, testimony to which is the fully stamped (18 stamps) service book, much of it main dealer, and loose invoices, which total up to many thousands of pounds. The hood was changed in his ownership and it works very well. It comes with two sets of keys, wallet and codes. The car has just had circa £1,000 spent on it, and the invoice before that was in February 2021 amounting to about £1,100.
The air conditioning works, the central locking works on the key, and there is the original CD player in the boot, although this is untested. The vendor states that the car starts first time, drives without any noises, and holds excellent oil pressure, and the oil switch has recently been changed. The gearbox is also said to be good. There are some minor chips in the paintwork, and there is some not very notable discolouration on the boot lid, but the panel fit is excellent. The oil is fresh and a new electric aerial has just been fitted.

Although not totally immaculate, this is a very useable ‘modern classic’ in the true sense of the word, and is an elegant grand tourer. The V5 is in the vendor's name and address, and the vehicle is currently SORN.
