Seller's description:

1992 Jaguar XJS Cabriolet V12

Colour White

Odometer 55,633 Miles

Engine size 5300

Auction DetailsSeller Type Trade

Town Waalwijk

Country Netherlands

Low mileage V12 in desirable colour combination 

Solid, presentable car ideal for light improvement work 

Facelift car with improved quality and galvanised body 

One of the last 5.3litre HE V12 cars 

Great interior with few signs of wear

VIN records indicate that this is a late 1991 car rather than a ‘92

Fitted with the classic trapezoidal XJS headlamps rather than the US market quad lamps

The vendor says that it is solid and presentable but requires some light attention

3 owners

USA car with US title 

The 5.3litre V12 was superceded by the rare 6litre in 1992, making this one of the last smaller engined V12s

There is no service history with the car 

The XJS was lightly facelifted in May 1991:

On convertibles this is limited to the rear light treatment

The interiors were lightly made over with new switchgear 

The Interior 

Well preserved and nicely specified in dark blue with grey carpets

The condition of the interior and boot indicates careful ownership 

Seats in good condition, particularly the bolsters

Very slight sheen and wear on the driver’s seat 

Seat condition appears to confirm the low mileage displayed

Heated and electric seats

Rear load area with large cubby box 

Grey carpets in good condition with factory over mats in blue

Facelift specification dials with wood veneer surround

Veneers in great condition with no delamination or flakes visible

Airbag LHD model 

Door cards are very presentable with fittings and veneers in good condition

Cruise control

Original Jaguar radio cassette system 

Centre console ‘ski slope’ in good condition with no visible cracks in the veneer 

Grey boot trim unstained and well maintained 

The speedometer appears not to be working 

The Exterior 

Tasteful white bodywork nicely contrasts with the blue interior 

Bodywork is solid and presentable with no visible corrosion

Paintwork would likely benefit from a polish and wax regime to restore its shine and depth

Chromework in good condition

XJS trademark headlamps in good condition, with just light misting 

Factory lattice wheels appear to be polished with some deterioration of the rims

Alloys have been painted black in the centre which is not factory standard

Fitted with quality Cooper Cobra tyres

The bodywork is generally free of scuffs except the nearside front wing above the bumper

Dark blue canvas roof in good condition and appears to work correctly 

Rear centre high level brake light 

Chromework generally good 

Front lower valance appears to be distorted or scuffed on the nearside front corner 

Front fog lights 

Underside appears to be very good 

There are a few minor scuffs underneath and chips in the underseal but it is very presentable 

The Mechanics 

5.3litre Jaguar V12 ‘HE’ fuel injected specification engine

285 bhp

3spd automatic gearbox 

There is no service history with this vehicle 

Engine bay looks remarkably clean and with good pipework
