In single-family ownership (two individuals) for all its life

Just 66,000 miles from new

Said by the vendor to be running well

Perhaps the perfect modern-classic for summer, with the colour scheme of Navy Blue with a Cream leather interior invoking thoughts of sun and sea, this XJ-S Convertible has excellent provenance. It has been in the care of just two members of the same family from new, with the vendor’s grandfather having purchased it from Mann Egerton Jaguar in Nottingham, and the original dealer plates testify to that. He kept it until 2018, since when it has been in the vendor’s care. Prior to 2018, it had been off the road for at least twelve years, but the vendor recommissioned and has been using it lightly ever since, primarily for fair-weather cruising, hence the mileage stands at only 66,300 miles from new.

In terms of its condition, the original interior has lightly patinated leather, and the exterior remains highly presentable albeit with “some minor æsthetic repairs required,” though we note the hood seems to be in good condition. The vendor advises that the engine is running well, and the fact that the Jaguar has an MOT valid until October, 2026, indicates that it is ready for immediate enjoyment. A V5C is supplied.
