Chassis Number SAJJNADW3DB167212

This elegant XJS Convertible, offered in Meteor red with contrasting Barley leather, has lived a remarkably charmed life having been being continually garaged since its purchase from Jaguar where it served briefly as a demonstrator model. As an ex demonstrator, this XJS benefits from a high specification including heated leather seats and bolster and, with a wealth of MoT test certificates, the mileage of just 41,760 can also be warranted making this a very attractive example. The woodwork is in fantastic order, as is the paintwork and chrome, and the electric window and roof mechanisms show no signs of stickiness. With an MoT test valid until July 2016, this really is a fine example of this desirable and iconic grand tourer, which begs to be taken to the south of France with the roof down to see exactly why Jaguar sold these cars so successfully.
