Lot number 153
Sale Price Not Sold
Make & Model Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible
Registration JAG 170L
Year 1989
Colour Red
Chassis No. SAJJNADW3DB161692
Engine No. 8S068094SA
Documents V5C; MOT May 2017; hand books; service history

First registered in June 1984, this XJS V12 Convertible has covered some 91,000 miles from new and comes with an excellent history file including 15 stamps in the service book plus various invoices for routine maintenance. The vendor acquired the car via Brightwells four years ago and has covered 10,000 enjoyable miles in it since.

During his ownership the car has been serviced three times at Jaguar main agents, Hatfields of Shrewsbury. Other work has included a new steering rack and new track rod ends; new front springs and dampers; gearbox and rear differential oil changes; new upper and lower front wishbone bushes - a substantial job.

The vendor states that: "This XJS drives beautifully, the kick down works as it should and it can easily sustain three figure speeds where permissible. The engine is virtually silent and uses very little oil between annual services with no smoke on start up or when fully warmed. Apart from the cruise control, everything works as it should including the electric hood which is fairly new, and the air conditioning although this is not quite as effective as modern systems.

"The black leather interior has no great signs of wear and the body is in great shape for a 32-year-old car following some localised repairs to the rear wheel arches. All original handbooks are with the car, there is a little used cover for the hood and the full complement of tools are present."

Looking particularly good with a quad headlamp conversion, optional rear seats and a valuable JAG number plate, this handsome and potent GT is MOT'd until May 2017 and needs nothing more than a proud new owner behind the wheel.

AMENDMENT - Revised estimate of £11,750 - £12,750
