Seller's description:

1992 Jaguar XJS

colour Blue

Odometer 100,100 Miles

Tamworth, Staffordshire, United Kingdom

Desirable ‘transition’ facelift V12 car with chrome bumpers

Older restoration in good bodily condition 

Recent new roof and tyres 

Only six registered keepers from new 

Tidy and solid car with scope to cosmetically improve

12 months MOT 

This car received a full bodywork restoration a few years ago so presents now in good bodily and paintwork order, finished in popular Arctic Blue. The tyres and blue fabric roof were replaced a couple of years ago. It looks good outside and the grey leather interior is in fair order, but may benefit from cosmetic improvement as you use and enjoy it. 

The car will have a fresh MOT for the new owner before hitting the road, but has covered just 38 miles since the last test, which was passed without advisories in 2022. If you’re looking for an interesting project for summer motoring, this one looks straightforward. The distinctive plate is included.
