1991 Jaguar XJ-S Convertible

Registration No: J800 XJS

Chassis No: SAJJNADW3EN180948

MOT: April 2026

Just 59,000 miles from new

Estimate £15,000 - £18,000

Supplied new by Jaguar main agents R. A. Creamer & Sons of Kensington on the 28th of August 1991 to its first owner, author Sally Burton (and widow of actor Richard Burton), she was a resident of the exclusive Porchester Terrace, London, W2 at the time. Finished from new in the attractive colour scheme of Platinum Metallic paintwork with Isis Blue leather interior upholstery and a complementary Blue hood, the XJ-S also has it matching hood cover. Offered now having covered just 59,000 miles from new, the Jaguar has been in its current registered ownership since 2020. Previously supplied by XJ-S specialists Clarkes XJ-S World, there is a document on file assessing the car by them, which states it as in “exceptional condition”. Benefitting from new brake calipers and pads in 2019, the Jaguar has covered just 6,000 miles since then.

Boasting a well-stamped service book, the service book illustrates seventeen services, all of which have been completed by Jaguar main agents or specialists. The most recent service was completed at 58,698 miles by main dealer Abbott Jaguar. Accompanied by a history file, it contains the aforementioned service book in the original book pack with wallet, a collection of invoices, numerous previous MOTs dating back to 2002, a no advisory MOT certificate until April 2026, and a current V5C document. The XJ-S also boasts having its original tool kit and jack, and a spare wheel, as well as its original etched glass. A nicely presented example in pleasingly original condition, and with an apt ‘XJS’ registration number, this is certainly one to consider for someone on the search for a V12 XJ-S Convertible.
