Highlights

The Appeal 

Few cars do weekend cruising or holiday touring quite as well as a XJ-S convertible. The usual compromise with a drop top is boot space and cabin comfort - not so in a XJ-S. Even at autobahn speeds, your hair style will remain largely unruffled. 
This car is finished in the popular combination of Arctic Blue metallic with beige leather, complemented by a smart dark blue roof. It has covered few miles in its 35 years and presents today in good, very usable condition. Clearly it has been looked after by its quartet of keepers. 
The car is reported to run and drive very well and has a fresh 12 months MOT! Perfect for heading off into the sun or perhaps taking in a European touring holiday.
