1981 JAGUAR XJS HE V12 19,725 MILES !

1981 JAGUAR XJS HE FINISHED IN JAGUAR CHESTNUT METALLIC WITH BISCUIT LEATHER.THE SEATING IS THE EARLIER & MORE COMFORTABLE SLUMBERLAND TYPE.

THIS CAR IS POSSIBLY UNIQUE IN AS MUCH AS IT HAS BEEN KEPT AS A CLASSIC CAR FROM NEW.USED SPARINGLY AND NEVER IN WINTER OR BAD WEATHER AND STORED IN A HEATED GARAGE.IT WAS PART OF A THREE CAR JAGUAR COLLECTION.SO CONSEQUENTLY THE CAR HAS BEEN PRESERVED IN TOTALLY ORIGINAL & MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE PHOTOGRAPHS WILL SHOW.IT HAS NEVER BEEN WELDED OR INTERFERED WITH IN ANY WAY,IT IS READY TO SHOW OFF AT THE CLASSIC CAR SHOWS IN THE SPRING WHERE I DOUBT IF YOU WILL FIND ANOTHER IN THIS LEAGUE.IF CONCOURS IS YOUR INTEREST THEN I WOULDN'T THINK IT WOULD TAKE A GREAT DEAL OF PREPERATION TO BRING THIS VEHICLE TO THAT STANDARD.

THE CAR COMES WITH A HISTORY FILE COMPRISING SUCH THINGS AS PREVIOUS M.O.T. CERTIFICATES,OLD TAX DISCS,ORIGINAL SALES BROCHURE,FIRST & SECOND YEAR BRITISH LEYLAND SUPERCOVER DOCUMENTATION PLUS OF COURSE THE ALL IMPORTANT LETTER FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER CONFIRMING THE CAR'S MILEAGE AND INTEGRITY.BUT THE BEST PART OF THE HISTORY FILE IS THE FACT THAT THE FILE IS NOT THAT THICK FOR A TWENTY FIVE YEAR OLD CAR BECAUSE THIS CAR HAS NEEDED NO REPAIR OR RESTORATION.IT HAS BEEN COSSETED FROM NEW AND THEREFORE HAS SURVIVED IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION.

A POINT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE CLEAR IS THAT THE REGISTRATION DOCUMENT STATES THREE PREVIOUS OWNERS,WHEREAS IT ONLY HAS ONE PREVIOUS AND THEN MYSELF.THIS IS BECAUSE SHORTLY AFTER BUYING THE CAR THE FIRST OWNER TRANSFERRED A PRIVATE PLATE TO THE VEHICLE AND THEN HAD IT ISSUED WITH AN AGE RELATED PLATE BEFORE SELLING IT.THIS IS ALL BACKED UP BY A LETTER FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE D.V.L.A. THEMSELVES.

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THIS CAR IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE MANY RUN OF THE MILL XJS MODELS WE SEE ADVERTISED,IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE VIEWED TO BE APPRECIATED.SO CONFIDENT AM I ABOUT THE CAR THAT I AM SURE THAT ANY GENUINE BUYER,ONCE HAVING VIEWED THE CAR WOULD NOT RETURN WITHOUT IT !

I HAVE TRIED TO DESCRIBE THE VEHICLE AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE BUT TO VIEW OR TO ASK QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL PAUL ON 01834 812987 OR 07779 715596.

THIS RARE OPPORTUNITY HAS PRESENTED ITSELF DUE TO A CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES SO GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY BIDDING.
