Offered here is a 1985 Jaguar XJ12 Sovereign 5. 3 HE presented in Steel Blue with a Grey leather interior. This example will require full recommissioning, the vendor states it will run and drive but the engine is lumpy. It benefits from a recent full set of injectors to the sum of £1, 200.

The exterior presents well for the age of the car, save for some micro blistering starting to show underneath the front and rear screen, and some lacquer peel on the driver-side passenger door. Inside, the interior is still in its original specification and the seats are in lovely condition showing no noticeable rips or scuffs. However, in true Jaguar style the headlining will require attention.

All in all, this will be a rewarding recommissioning project and a cheap passport into luxury British car ownership.
