Sellers description:
1996 Jaguar XJS finished in Jade Mica with cream leather and black soft top with 17k original miles. The 1996 XJS is the the last year the 6 cylinder XJS was produced and this is a beautiful example and looks absolutely new .The car is all original and and has always been garage kept and the original paint has a great shine and is in beautiful condition with only few scratches/scuffs that can easily be buffed out .But the small flaws do not take away from the cars beauty and awesome shine I just want to point them out. There is also NO rust on the car .

The original interior has a great aroma of leather and is in a Cream leather with contrasting coffee colored piping topped off with the jaguar leaper on the headrests and it is still soft with only light wear to the drivers seat are still very soft and supple.The wood is very dark and unflawed well as the carpets and the original soft top are also very nice and still look new.The trunk is very clean and has the matching magnolia boot cover in its original bag .

Mechanically the car runs and drives very well and is so silent you can hardly tell its running .It did have its 15k service shortly before being put into storage and is ready to go. There are no warning lights on and everything works including the heated seats, hot heat, cold A/C but all, windows ,door locks,power top keyless entry w alarm all work as they should . The car is 15 years old now but is completely original and is a great driver and it wouldn't take much to make it perfect or a show car and it gets thumbs up and stares where ever you take it. It especially stands out because of the breath taking color combo and still looks like a new car

The car was originally sold in Connecticut at Darien Jaguar and has always been garaged. It was always serviced and is in impeccable condition. I am the only the 2nd owner of the car and it will also come with the original keys, books/manuals. and the original window sticker. I searched for over a year to find this color in this condition and acquired it as part of my collection but have quite a few jaguars and garage space is limited so a couple cars must go, and I would love this car to go to a great home.
