Registration Number XEL 974S

MOT Expiry Exempt

Chassis Number 2W4497

Engine Number 10468

Rare and desirable, early production, manual gearbox pre-HE car

Delightfully finished in Squadron Blue with a smart Biscuit interior

Outstanding history file including older MOTs, Jaguar Heritage Certificate, invoices for maintenance, service records dating back to 1978, a parts catalogue and an original XJ-S brochure

A UK-delivered car that spent a few years in Nenagh, Ireland, but now back on UK plates

The perfect candidate for ‘tinkering’ with over the winter, ready for continental cruising or HERO rallies
