Auction description:
Lot number 92
Estimate £10,000 - £12,000
Description Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible
Registration G969 MEP
Year 1989
Colour Signal Red
Engine size 5,345 cc
Chassis No. SAJJNADW3DB163010
Engine No. 8569204SA
Documents V5C; new MOT; 13 old MOTs; service invoices; original hand books

This particular V12 Convertible was first owned by a Jaguar representative in the Far East and has clearly led a very pampered life to date. It covered just 45,000kms (28,000 miles) during the 10 years it spent in Singapore before being shipped back to the UK in 1999 at which point the speedo was replaced with an MPH unit which now records some 22,500 miles giving a total warranted mileage of just 50,500.

It comes with an excellent service history comprising nine stamps in the book up to 41,208km while in Singapore, plus a further six stamps since it came to England, the last only around 200 miles ago in May 2015, with various supporting invoices. The vendor acquired the car in June 2010 and has only covered some 2,000 fine weather miles in the car in the last six years, many of them on Jaguar Enthusiast Club events.

He reports that the car drives as well as it looks with everything working as it should (including the air conditioning and the power hood), the only known faults being the cruise control which is inoperative for some reason and a slight shimmy through the wheel on rough surfaces which he attributes to tired front suspension bushes, simple enough to fix if desired. Due to have a fresh MOT in time for the sale, it has had no advisories on the last six MOTs, testament to the good condition of the car and the regular maintenance it has always received.

Looking wonderful in Signal Red with a black leather interior, it has recently been fitted with four new tyres and a new battery and is ready for a new owner to enjoy right away. It comes with all its original handbooks in the original wallet and even retains the original tool kit in the boot. Highly original and very low mileage, it looks excellent value at the sensible guide price suggested today.

It comes with an excellent service history comprising nine stamps in the book up to 41,208km while in Singapore, plus a further six stamps since it came to England, the last only around 300 miles ago in May 2015, with various supporting invoices and 13 old MOTS . The last owner acquired the car in June 2010 and has only covered some 2,000 fine weather miles in the car in the last six years, many of them on Jaguar Enthusiast Club events. The car drives as well as it looks with everything working as it should (including the air conditioning and the power hood), the only known faults being the cruise control which is disconnected. Finished in Signal Red with a black leather interior the car is in original solid condition throughout. To be ultra critical some very slight fading is apparent on the top surface of the bonnet and boot lid but this does not detract from the general lustre of the paint. The wheels are unmarked with new tyres; the chrome is excellent and the under bonnet, boot and interior present is equally excellent condition. The mohair soft top is unworn. It comes with all its original handbooks in the original wallet, large and small tools and two sets of keys and alarm and immobiliser fobs.
