Formerly property of Frank Sinatra, purchased new in 1976 as a wedding gift from his 4th wife, Barbara Sinatra, this 1976 Jaguar XJ-S features a stunning green finish that was reportedly chosen to reflect the green in her eyes. This vehicle was purchased through Christie's Auction Pebble Beach in 1995. It reportedly drives like new and looks amazing. Special features include the "Cockpit Series" stereo system by PANASONIC, in dash compass and a very early GE car phone. Also offered with this car is the gift Frank gave to Barbara, a 1976 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow (shimmering in Peacock Blue to reflect the color of his eyes). The original owners manual, sales invoice from Leyland Motorcars of Beverly Hills, CA, a SIGNED ORIGINAL title dated 12.1.95 and original license plates are all included in this offering. An exceptionally fun car to drive with all the mystique of "the Chairman of the Board". Complete paint in 1996, most recent tune up and brakes 2014.
