The Appeal
Introduced in 1975, the Jaguar XJS was the flagship for Jaguar for some twenty-one years, and continues to be an impressive hallmark of the company’s retro repertoire. With their luxurious cabins, distinct styling, and exceptional powerplants, these were Grand Tourers with true longevity - and continue to be heavily respected to this day.
This example is currently based in the Netherlands, having originally been based in the USA. It’s now ready and waiting for a new owner to bring it back to the road.
