Auction description:
1994 Jaguar
Model XJS V12
Colour Blue
Odometer 74,578 Miles
Engine size 5993
Location Kent
Country United Kingdom

• Superb original condition
• Well cared for and dry stored
• 6 litre V12

The car was bought by the current owner in 2009 and has kept it in an air conditioned garage for as long as he has had it.

The previous keeper also kept it indoors and the log books show it has covered just a few thousand miles each year, ideal for keeping it running well without putting much wear on the car.

The Paperwork
Supplied new by TWR Jaguar in Oxford and the original number plates and dealer window sticker are included.

There is an interesting double-up in the Jaguars history, as it appears the service book was lost when fairly new, and a replacement issued by the dealer, before the original was found.

In more recent years it has been maintained by Clarke’s Jaguar in East Sussex who have taken care of a service and maintenance.

The Interior
The cabin has fared very well, with the cream leather looking barely used with just the lightest of patina on the drivers seat, and the light carpets only showing a couple of marks in the drivers footwell.

There are elements of its 1970s roots visible in the gear selector and dash layout but brought up to date for the early 90s with the addition of then modern looking switchgear and airbags. The wood inserts though are timeless and are as new.

The dash top is perfect and door cards and in fact every other aspect of the interior looks fantastic.

In the boot is the original CD changer and complete toolkit. The boot carpets are very clean and the alloy spare wheel is in excellent condition.

The Exterior
Having been kept in an air conditioned garage as long as the current owner has owned it, and previously in well ventilated indoor storage its no surprise the Jag is in outstanding cosmetic condition.

The paint is untroubled by stone chips or scratches and is remarkably swirl free with a deep shine and depth to the metallic blue. The two tone factory pinstripes are also crisp and sharp.

The power hood works as it should and is in beautiful shape inside and out with no creases or tears to the outer fabric or headlining. The rear window is glass and heated and the tonneau cover is good.

The alloy wheels are excellent, theres no curb damages and thanks to brake dust shields which have been fitted for many years the surface isn’t pitted or stained by brake dust, and it wears a full set of premium quality Pirelli Cinturato tyres with good tread all around.

A previous owner fitted a Jaguar Leaper in place of the badge, however the badge does come with the car.

Mechanics
Arguably the most impressive and desirable engine option, the 6 litre V12 is an epic piece of engineering.

Looking under the car its clear its had light use and been dry stored and well cared for, the chassis is clean and appears in excellent corrosion free shape.
