Schiedam, Netherlands

5.7-litre/350CI LT1 Corvette V8 fitted

Custom metallic blue paintwork

USA Title and EU import documentation present

Granted, the colour is not factory standard, but there's little to betray the fact that this is anything other than a standard XJ-S. But, under the bonnet, we find an all-American V8 courtesy of Chevrolet - it's the fabled LT1 unit fitted to the Corvette.

Formerly a US car, now in the Netherlands, with all taxes paid. If you fancy a 'big cat' with a big secret, this is the car for you.
