Auction description:

Dore & Rees, Castle Coombe Autumn Classic, Chippenham, UK, 20 September, 2025

Estimate £13,000 - £18,000

1989 Jaguar XJ-S Convertible

Chassis Number: SAJJNADW3DB157657

Recorded Mileage: 44,400 miles

- Genuine well cared-for low mileage example

- In current ownership since 2006

- Extensive maintenance history with 19 stamps recorded

This striking XJ-S Convertible was first sold by Mann Egerton in April 1989, finished in Signal Red with a Black leather interior and mohair roof. We gather this was an unusual colour scheme as most XJ-S were sold with tan as opposed to black trim at the time.

The XJ-S has just three previous owners from new, with the current keeper acquiring the car in 2006 to join a private collection based on the Channel Islands. When purchased this example was especially selected by Cooper BMW of Cobham as a perfect example to suit the collection.

Although annual mileage has been relatively nominal through the years, the Jaguar has been consistently maintained, as demonstrated by some 19 service stamps in the original service booklet. Very recently the Jaguar has enjoyed much investment to ensure it remains in top mechanical condition, in keeping with the car's exceptional bodywork and near unmarked original interior.

This lovely example is still fitted with its unused factory Pirelli tyre in the spare wheel well, retains its original tool kit, jack and hood bag, and correct Jaguar branded radio cassette player.

Included in the history file are all the original dealer books and paperwork, stamped service book, numerous main agent and specialist invoices, also a separate list of recent works carried out. Also present are a new MoT to August 2026 and a number of older MoT certificates. An extremely genuine example in collector’s grade condition, this beautiful XJ-S stands head and shoulders above the competition.
