Seller's description:

We are pleased to offer for sale this beautiful 1985 Jaguar XJ-SC 3.6 Manual

Finished in Cobalt Blue metallic and with 99’000 miles the car is in a truly superb all round condition. The bodywork is excellent, panels straight and with a beautiful paint finish, the car presents wonderfully. It really is a very attractive car with great presence. The custom light grey leather interior is also in super order and is virtually immaculate having been beautifully and expensively retrimmed including carpets. Whilst not its original specification, the interior combination is very attractive and in my opinion sets the car off beautifully. The wood cappings are excellent and original. The roof is perfect in operation, has been retrimmed and remains in excellent condition. The rear screen has also been replaced and a tonneau for the rear hood was commissioned and is in 'as new' condition. The car retains its original ‘starfish’ alloy wheels that are in immaculate condition having been refurbished and are shod with correct Pirelli 4000 tyres. The bright work and chrome work are excellent with no rust or peeling chrome, some pieces have been replaced with very difficult to obtain new pieces including all 4 bumper corners.

On the road the XJS performs faultlessly, starts 1st time with no smoke, has plenty of power, delivered just as you would expect from the legendary straight 6. The manual 'box is smooth in operation and selects easily. The ride is classic Jaguar, and there are no noticeable rattles or clunks from the suspension (it has had a hugely expensive historic overhaul) and on a 100 mile test drive the car was a joy. The car has its original and full service book with lots of stamps, all at the correct intervals along with a huge and comprehensive history file documenting the excellent care and maintenance the car has received over the last 34 years.

In conclusion, a very smart XJ-SC that is ready to be enjoyed, has clearly been well loved, has had huge expenditure and presents very nicely. Comes with 12 months MOT, full detail valet and fresh oil service.
