The Appeal

It took a few years for Jaguar to get the XJS right, but when it did it became one of the greatest GTs of all time. Its distinctive long, low and lithe bodywork and super-smooth V12 make these cars excellent touring companions. 
This car has recently arrived from the USA and is a very low mileage example with a clean CARFAX report. That paperwork also confirms it has had an accident-free history. Finished in handsome Westminster Blue with grey leather interior, it is one of the desirable pre-facelift models with chrome bumpers. 
The car is supplied with its original books and comprehensive EU import documentation, making it an attractive proposition for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
