A desirable manual transmission model, this 3.6-litre XJ-S Coupé was purchased in September 1995 from Chiltern Jaguar in Bovingdon by a Mr Moorby of High Wycombe, who used it until he became ill. Last taxed to the end of September 2003, the Jaguar remained garaged after Mr Moorby's death and was not sold by his widow until 2012. 'G151 SVV' had had only two registered keepers before Mr Moorby (copy of logbook on file). Also on file is a complete run of 13 expired MoTs dating from 1991 (the first issued) to 2003 confirming the recorded mileage of 88,300 to be correct.

The Jaguar was purchased by the last registered keeper in 2012 for restoration, but after a change of mind it was sold to the current vendor in 2013. It was then re-commissioned and treated to a high-quality total re-spray in original black, the wheels being restored, the cream leather upholstery refurbished, and the headlining replaced at the same time. The car is offered with the aforementioned documentation, owner's handbook, MoT to July 2015, V5C registration document and sundry service bills.
