Sellers description:
658 ACTUAL MILES ON THIS STUNNING ONE OWNER JAGUAR XJS! IT WAS ORDERED AND PURCHASED BRAND NEW TO BE INCLUDED IN A VAST COLLECTION OF RARE AND UNIQUE VEHICLES IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED GARAGE. YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE IT BUT THIS CAR STILL SMELLS NEW! STILL HAS ORIGINAL WINDOW STICKER AND BOOKS! THE V12 ENGINE WAS REMOVED IN 1999 WITH JUST 1900 MILES AND REPLACED WITH A FAR MORE RELIABLE AND COMMON CHEVROLET LT1 V8. SUCH BEAUTIFUL BODY LINES LAY UNDER THE GORGEOUS BLACK PAINT AND THE REAL KNOCK OFF CHROME WIRE WHEELS MAKE IT EVEN MORE ELEGANT. THEN OPEN THE DOOR TO THE RICH LOOKING DARK RED INTERIOR TRIMMED NICELY WITH JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF WOODGRAIN. MAYBE IT'S TIME FOR THIS CAR TO BE ENJOYED AND TURN THE CLOCK UP A BIT. THIS HAS TO BE THE CLEANEST, LOWEST MILE XJS AVAILABLE.

Chassis No: SAJNV4847KC154357
MOT: N/A

1989 Jaguar XJS Convertible with only 2,700 miles and one owner from new. This desirable XJS Convertible is described by the vendor as an absolutely superb car that has had only one previous owner, who kept it in a climate controlled collection in the USA. The owner had the V12 removed in 1991 by a Jaguar specialist in Dallas, who is still in business, and it was a superb conversion. The car had done 1,100 miles at time of conversion and is now on just 2,700 miles.

The car is as good underneath as it is on top. The new engine is a fuel injected 5.7L Corvette engine and all parts were brand new. The exhaust pipes are all stainless original Jaguar, the gearbox is Jaguar original, it is just the engine non original. The vendor advises that Jaguar Land Rover have been trying to buy it back.

All taxes and duty's have been paid but it has not been registered in the UK as yet. All the books, tapes, touch up pens etc are as new, as is the hood bag and mats. The vendor states that this car has to be the finest examples in the world, and that in very rare black with red leather, he has never seen one like this before. The car comes with special order knock on wire wheels, not bolt ons. The original bill of sale for $59,000 is present.

Guide Price: £33,000 to £40,000
