Sellers description:
West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional example of this classic and rare original family owned 1989 Jaguar XJS 5.3L V12 convertible roadster with only 8,823 (Yes, eight thousand eight hundred!) original miles! Gorgeous combination of original factory 'Satin Beige Metallic' (Code AGA) color paint with striking original factory alloy wire wheels and beautiful doeskin 'Barley' (Trim Code AFW) leather interior and a matching Dark Brown power soft top! This particular car must be seen to be truly appreciated! Virtually flawless and a real head-turner!

This is the rare 5.3L V12 model with factory options including:

Electronic fuel injection,
Electronic ignition system,
Power 4 anti-lock wheel disc brakes,
Power rack & pinion steering,
Leather-bound tilt steering wheel with airbag,
Power tinted windows,
Heated glass rear window,
Power door locks,
Automatic temperature control,
Air conditioning,

Leather seats and trim,

Halogen foglamps/headlights,
Heated power mirrors,
Heated windshield washer,
Chrome spoke wire wheels
4 speaker Am/FM/Cassette player with Dolby sound system and power antenna.
Power top with matching tonneau cover
Automatic transmission

.... and added factory spoke alloy wheels and Thermo Guard Paint sealant for a total out the door cost of over $58K in 1989, which would amount to over $105K according to CPI inflation calculator in 2016 dollars!

Obviously always garaged with absolutely no rust and no accidents, owned by only one obviously very careful and mature family owner since new - never abused, babied all the way! The original factory and simply stunning 'Satin Beige Metallic' color paint is in truly excellent condition as is the original 'Barley' color leather seats interior, which is also in as outstanding condition as the exterior, with virtually no signs of any wear with the door panels, headliner and the carpets also virtually flawless throughout. The original dark brown power soft top is still as new having always been garaged and stored inside from the elements and the original matching interior 'Dark Brown' color leather tonneau cover is also as new. The cars original spare wheel is unused and has never left its trunk compartment and the cars original factory tools are also unused.

Powered by one of the finest, race proven engines built by Jaguar, the smooth 5,344 c.c. V12 engine was a worthy successor to the XK series of Jaguar sports cars dating from the late 1940's and this particular engine is extremely strong and smooth running with excellent oil pressure and which does not burn or leak oil. The temperature always remains cool and the car drives exactly like a V12 Jaguar with such low miles should!

This clearly must be one of the very finest examples available anywhere of this classic and increasingly desirable and collectible rare V12 Jaguar roadster, a truly luxurious smooth V12 ride and one of the last beautiful hand built cars from Jaguar's legendary Browns Lane, Coventry, England plant. This is the last classically beautiful design built by Jaguar in their long and famous history of classic lines - with these particular models becoming increasingly hard to find in such all original condition and with such low original miles and with this car having obviously very rare and careful long time single family ownership since new! This is one sure-fire classic car investment for the Jaguar enthusiast or simply any classic car lover!

You will certainly look long and hard to find a finer example of this immaculate V12 Jaguar roadster convertible with no history of any accidents, rust or 'stories' and all original owners dealer handbooks and tools and boasting only one family ownership since new and with only 8K original miles available anywhere else!
