The Appeal

Perhaps one of the most iconic Jaguars in history, the XJS has every right to be rubbing shoulders with the likes of the E-Type for sheer recognisability. With its uniquely forward-thinking styling - which was highly controversial for its time - the car has managed to mature into a highly enduring classic, loaded with character and sheer purity of vision.

This example, originally based in the USA, boasts its original paintwork and a highly original cabin, still carrying all of its uniquely 90s eye for luxury. The vendor notes that it's a particularly solid example and has recently been serviced - so if you're after a fine example of Coventry's classic tourer, congratulations! It's right here.
