Auction description:
Lot 118 of 119: 1977 Jaguar XJ-S 5.3
Estimate: £24,000 - £28,000
Registration No:RUW879R
Chassis No:2W2989
- 1 of just 385 pre-HE V12 manual gearbox cars built
- Restored in 2014
- Rated by the vendor as being in 'good' to 'excellent' condition
One of the rare and decidedly collectible pre-HE V12 manual transmission cars (of which just 385 were made), 'RUW 879R' was restored in 2014. Entering the current ownership a year later, the Jaguar was driven from Edinburgh to its new home in Suffolk without incident. Finished in Yellow with Beige leather upholstery, the XJ-S is variously described by the vendor as being in 'good' (interior trim), 'very good' (V12 engine, four-speed manual gearbox, electrical equipment) or 'excellent' (bodywork, paintwork) condition.
