SUMMARY
A really interesting example with an intriguing story to tell and benefiting from a recent £10,000 investment.
DESCRIPTION
- Built in 1987, finished in Satin Beige with matching leather and, according to the JDHT, this UK right-hand drive, automatic transmission example was first registered to Jaguar themselves under E472 JAC
- An ex-Jaguar Director and member of the XJS Club believes this car to be one of the 50 Coupés used to develop the 2+2 seating arrangement fitted to later XJ-S Cabriolets one of which was given to Princess Diana
- The current owner has invested over £10,000 recently in both the car's cosmetics and mechanics
- We understand that the engine, gearbox and diff all work smoothly and silently. Oils, filters, and coolant have been changed recently, the braking system fully overhauled with the rears rebuilt and new tyres all round
- Our vendor notes 'Where possible, everything that could be renovated has been done without adversely affecting the ‘patina’ and originality'
- A particularly interesting and competitively guided example, this may well reward your inspection at the Silverstone Festival
