Finished in striking red with a beautifully contrasting magnolia leather interior, this 1990 Jaguar XJS presents as an elegant example of Jaguar’s grand touring pedigree. Complementing its classic colour combination is a black mohair electrically operated hood, enhancing both its visual appeal and open-top driving experience. This car was the subject of an extensive restoration in 2009, costing an impressive circa £68,000. The work undertaken was comprehensive, including a bare-shell rebuild, new hood installation and full interior re-trim, resulting in the lovely condition in which the car is offered today. It is powered by the highly desirable 5.3-litre V12 engine, the XJS delivers the smooth, refined performance for which these models are renowned, making it one of the most sought-after variants in the range. The speedometer is currently inoperative and is believed to have ceased functioning at approximately 53,000 miles. The car is offered with a valid MoT certificate, valid until April 2027. A rare opportunity to acquire a restored example of this iconic British grand tourer, combining timeless styling with effortless V12 performance. Consigned by James Good
