Well Kept One Owner: 1986 Jaguar XJ-S V12

This 1986 Jaguar XJ-S V12 (VIN SAJNL5041GC128903) is on offer by its original "fussy, mechanical engineer" owner, and is said to be completely original, well-kept, and free of accidents or rust. Picked up new at the Browns Lane factory in Coventry, the car looks great despite 216k and change kilometers (~134k miles), and is said to have always been serviced by factory-trained techs. High miles might be a turn off to some, but could be taken to indicate that this one's had the bugs worked out-the seller says it's ready to drive. Find it here on Craigslist in Kelowna, BC, Canada for $6,500 CAD (~$5,100 USD today).

I want a good home for this beautiful car - my family is not interested and I am aging
but still driving my 2008 XJ VandenPlas sedan
No restoration needed - just keep up the maintenance I have given her for over 30 years
and she will give you years of pleasure and satisfaction
