Highlights

One of only 200 "Classic Collection" models
Rare Oyster Metallic paintwork
Documented 68,000 miles with a clean CARFAX report
Rust-free, imported from California

The Appeal

Released only in the USA, the 'Classic Collection Edition' of the Jaguar XJS Convertible was produced in only 200 units. It was a handsome specification, with leather door cards, exclusive colour combinations, piped seats, and a "Classic Collection" badge. The result was an incredibly handsome, luxuriant tourer.

This example, in an exclusive shade of Oyster Metallic, is a fine ambassador. 68,000 warranted miles, a history in the sunny climes of California and a superb level of upkeep makes this V12-powered Anglo-American beauty a classic that demands your attention. We don't often see these come to market in Europe, and we're sure you don't want to miss out.
