Auction description:

1990 Jaguar XJ-S V12 Convertible

Lot 32 (The Pavilion Gardens Buxton, Wed, 7th Jul 2021)

Estimate £18,000 - £22,000

Registration No: G888 VYE

Chassis No: SAJJNADW3DB168017

MOT: June 2022

Finished in striking Westminster Blue with Magnolia leather upholstery and a Navy Blue soft-top

Three private keepers from new the first of whom had the car returned to Browns Lane at six months old for a bare metal respray and complained about noise levels at illegal speeds!

Serviced by the supplying dealer, Henlys of London, eleven times up until 69,099 miles (now showing some 83,000)

Pleasingly retains much of its factory paintwork and original upholstery, great history file

Beginning life as a demonstrator for Henlys of London Ltd, chassis SAJJNADW3DB168017 was bought by a captain of industry when it was just four months old and re-registered as ‘KOO 35’. Correspondence on file reveals that Henlys might have regretted the sale if only because the buyer was a gentleman used to getting his own way who had the Convertible returned to Browns Lane for a bare metal respray under warranty and complained about its noise levels at illegal speeds! Nevertheless, he returned the XJ-S to Henlys for servicing eleven times up to 69,099 miles. Entrusted to Jaguar Borauto SA of Alicante briefly thereafter, the last recorded UK service was at 81,705 miles (the odometer now shows some 83,000). Finished in striking Westminster Blue with Magnolia leather upholstery and a Navy Blue soft-top, ‘G888 VYE’ is described by the vendor as being in ‘very good’ (bodywork, interior trim) or ‘excellent’ (5.3 litre V12 engine, automatic transmission, electrical equipment, paintwork) condition. Said to be ‘a lovely original car with zero visible corrosion that has had minimal paintwork and drives very well’, this handsome XJ-S is offered for sale with full book pack, large history file and fresh MOT certificate.
