Description from the seller
Jaguar XJS V12 Shooting Brake (1987)
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Rare artisanal conversion by Les Ateliers Réunis
- Left-hand drive. Ultra rare in Europe
- Officially re-registered as a shooting brake on the registration card
- Restored in 2024 (52,000 euros in invoices)
ABOUT THE MODEL FOR SALE
Jaguar never produced the XJS in a shooting brake version; Shooting Brakes were made in very small numbers by specialized workshops, which gives these examples a status apart in the Jaguar collector market.
Jaguar XJS Shooting Brakes are among the rarest and most distinctive variants of the XJS. Their limited distribution, artisanal character, and usability make them highly sought after by discerning collectors.
This Jaguar XJS HE V12 Shooting Brake / Break de Chasse is an extremely rare example resulting from a conversion carried out in the late 1980s on an original Jaguar XJS V12 base.
Made by Les Ateliers Réunis, founded by Philippe Aubry, and bearing number 2 on its transformation plate.
The seller has owned the car for more than twenty years.
Model intended for a knowledgeable collector, sensitive to special, well-documented, coherent models.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
