The Appeal

Built exclusively for the US market, the Classic Collection XJS was well-appointed and remarkably handsome. Its distinctive lattice alloy wheels, quad-lights, dedicated badging on the boot lid, and gold-plated badge on the bonnet make it a standout for this era of the 'big cat', and was a great send-up for the legendary XJS, which by this point had become the company's golden goose - for good reason. The language of top-down motoring, in a distinctive Sayers design with a roaring V12, is universal. 

This fine example is accompanied by its Carfax report, packed with 35 service records. The Oyster Metallic livery is perfectly pretty and suits the car's distinctive lines to the ground, and the cabin is highly original. If you're after a commendably low-mileage, American-exclusive example of one of Jaguar's all time greatest hits, this is a superb opportunity.
