Auction description:
Lot number 133
Sale Price Not Sold
Make & Model Jaguar XJS 3.6
Registration C41 HGC
Year 1985
Colour Silversand Gold
Engine Size 3,590 cc
Chassis No. SAJJNAEC7CC124967
Engine No. 9DPAMA102371
Documents V5C; MOT April 2020 with 1 advisory; old style V5; owners manuals & service book with 2 stamps; invoices; 7 old MOTs

Supplied new in November 1985 by Dove Group Jaguar Daimler of Croydon, Surrey this Jaguar XJS 3.6 coupe was specified with the rare manual transmission.

Finished in Silversand with Buckskin interior, the optional extras included headlamp wash wipe at £202 and a trip computer at £212 making a grand total of £19,862.

It has had just three owners from new. The first looks to have used the car sparingly, with just 1,513 miles covered by its first MOT in October 1989 with just two hundred more by October 1990. The service book on file shows just two stamps, one for its PDI and a second for its free first service in August 1986 showing just 606 miles.

The car has had two owners since, a father and son who acquired the car in November 2000. It still only shows 27,195 miles which is believed correct with MOTs on file showing little if any use between tests.

There are some invoices on file for an air conditioning service and a new headlining in September 2017. A new thermal transmitter and oil pressure switch were fitted in March 2017 and a service with new fuel injector seals in April 2015, a clutch kit and brake discs/pads in December 2011 and other sundry invoices.

The low mileage is supported by seven old MOTs and numerous SORN notifications on file. The current MOT runs until April 2020 with just one minor advisory recorded for a small exhaust blow.

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a low owner and very low mileage XJS with the desirable manual transmission and that lovely, revvy 3.6 straight-six.
