Description from the seller

Jaguar XJ-S V12 Convertible (1988) – Absolute Top Condition from Oregon

Experience the ultimate ‘Grand Tourer’ in its purest form.

Are you looking for a Jaguar XJ-S that is not only visually stunning but also technically and structurally in top condition? This 1988 example, powered by the legendary 5.3 liter V12, is a rare find. Directly sourced from an older couple from the dry climate of Oregon (USA), which explains the solid, rust-free condition of this classic.

BODYWORK & PAINT

The car has always been housed indoors, and it shows. The paintwork shines beautifully and is original. Thanks to the favorable climate in which the car has lived, the underbody is completely rust-free (see photos). Recently the Jaguar has been equipped with a new soft top and headliner (€2,500 value), which of course works fully hydraulically and smoothly.

INTERIOR

Step into an oasis of British comfort. The interior is very neat, clean, and exudes pure class. This XJ-S is richly equipped with very advanced options for its time:
Electricly adjustable and heated seats
Air conditioning & Cruise Control
Leather-wrapped steering wheel (adjustable)
Original audio system with cassette player
Power windows and central locking

TECHNICAL

With 103,000 original miles on the odometer, this V12 runs and shifts as silkly as a Jaguar should. The car is well maintained and comes with a clean Carfax report. Uniquely, the spare wheel has never been used and the original onboard tools are complete.

Important details:
Year: 1988
Mileage: 103,000 miles (original)
Documentation: All original booklets present. No CoC required for EU registration.

Location: Available for viewing in Damwoude, Netherlands.

This is not a 'project', but a turnkey icon. An honest, unspoiled roadster for the enthusiast who values quality. Although the car is 37 years old and minor signs of use cannot be completely ruled out, we dare say this is among the better examples on the market.

You are warmly welcome to arrange a viewing. Transport throughout Europe can be arranged by us.
