This V12 Convertible was first registered in June 1992, moving to Northern Ireland just two years later where it was to remain for the next 14 years. Clearly a much-loved machine, it was treated to a £22,000 restoration in 2004-2005 with many bills documenting the extent of the work carried out. The vendor acquired the car in 2008, paying £25,000 to secure it. Used regularly at first, it has been driven very little in the past couple of years, mainly standing outside in all weathers and deteriorating somewhat.

In the summer of 2013 the power hood stopped working, the problem being diagnosed as a faulty nearside hydraulic roof ram, a part which was not available at the time so the car has soldiered on with an inoperable roof to this day.

Still with only 70,000 miles on the clock, it has 10 stamps in the service book up to 64,300 miles in August 2007 with records of subsequent maintenance since. With an MOT until April 2016 and driven some 100 miles to the sale, it is now in need of some TLC to restore it to its former £25,000 glory.

Please note the car was still covered in road grime from its 100 mile trip to Brightwells when these photos were taken so it will look a bit smarter in the metal on sale day!

1992 Jaguar XJS Convertible

This very desirable Jaguar XJS Convertible is described by the vendor as a very good example having had an earlier restoration costing over £14,000 and a complete carpet set. A new MOT has been carried out and the roof is said to work without fault. The original tool kit is present, and the car comes with a large history file and the roof cover. The XJS is now increasing in value and these convertibles are leading the way.
