Car to be at auction 4/18
www.barons-auctions.com/auction_details.php

Auction description:
Lot 158
Manufacturer: Jaguar
Model: XJS 5.3 Pre-HE
First Registered: 1977
Registration No: ARE 916S
Mileometer: 59,936
Chassis No: 2W 3568BW
MOT: TBA
Colour: Red

The vendor tells us that this car has been in his possession for over three years, and has been kept in storage. The car is in remarkably good original condition, with good paintwork, very good original interior, and good mechanical systems. These cars were usually very susceptible to rust, but this car seems to be virtually rust free in all the usual areas, and the original Kent Alloy wheels are excellent.

The car comes with its original Service Book, which is has 9 Service Stamps in it, plus quite a few old MOTs. These early Pre-HE XJS models are now very difficult to find, particularly in this condition, and the mileage shown is thought to be correct. This a good chance to buy a very nice car reserved very sensibly.

Guide Price: £4,000 to £6,000
