Sellers description:
West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional example of this classic and rare original southern California owner 1990 Jaguar XJS 5.3L V12 coupe with only 22K original miles! Gorgeous and very rare and desirable color combination of original factory 'Jet Black' (Code PDH) paint with factory chrome wire wheels and beautiful doeskin 'Saville Grey' (Trim Code LDY) leather interior! The Coupe model is very rare and desirable with only 2,939 models built in 1990 compared to 4,633 convertible/roadster models and with production finishing entirely in 1993.This particular car must be seen to be truly appreciated! 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 rear window, power door locks, automatic temperature control, air conditioning, cruise control, trip computer, leather faced seats and trim, heated sport seats, power lumbar support, burled walnut facia and trim, deep pile carpet, 4 speaker 80W AM/FM Cassette Player (replaced with after market 'Kenwood' CD player) & power antenna, Halogen foglamps/headlights, heated power mirrors, dual coach stripes, chrome spoke alloy wheels and heated windshield washer.

Purchased by original and only owner at 'Southland Motors' of West Covina, California on 9/30/1990 and serviced initially there and later at 'Hornburg Jaguar' of Santa Monica, CA and 'Jaguar/Land Rover' of Newport Beach, CA. Please note that although the car was titled at the owners Michigan residence, the car has never left the state of California. Obviously always garaged with absolutely no rust and no accidents and a clean CARFAX report, owned by only one obviously very careful and mature southern California owner/driver since new - never abused, babied all the way!

The original factory 'Jet Black' paint is in absolutely excellent condition as is the original 'Saville Grey' color leather seats and interior. There are virtually no signs of any wear with the door panels, headliner and the carpets all in outstanding condition throughout. The car has been always primarily only dealer and Jaguar specialists serviced since new and the car will be sold with all its original owners manuals, dealer stamped 'Passport to Service' booklet and window sticker showing an original sales price of over $48K! The car's most recent service at 22,659 miles on 6/26/2014 included a new brake master cylinder, new brake pads and brake linings and A/C service.

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!
