This 1986 Jaguar XJ-S V12 is finished in Regent Gray Metallic over Savile Gray leather, and it is powered by a 5.3-liter V12 linked to a three-speed automatic transmission. Features include 15″ Starfish alloy wheels, a Nardi steering wheel, automatic climate control, and a cassette stereo. KYB Gas-A-Just shocks were installed following the seller’s 2021 acquisition of the car. This XJ-S V12 is offered at no reserve with service records, a clean Carfax report, and Connecticut registration in the seller’s name.

This example is finished in Regent Gray Metallic (LDL), and it features fog lights and a power antenna. The seller notes paint crazing on the roof and additional imperfections are presented in the gallery.

The 15″ Starfish alloy wheels are mounted with Pirelli P400 SuperTouring tires the seller recommends should be replaced. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel discs, and the rear brake pads were replaced in September 2025. Front and rear KYB Gas-A-Just shocks were installed in June 2022.

The seats are upholstered in Savile Gray leather, and interior features include burl wood veneer accents, automatic climate control, and a cassette stereo. The headliner has been replaced, per the seller. The driver seat insert has separated from the outer bolster, and there is foam visible behind the center-stack air vents.

The Nardi steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline as well as gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 19k miles. The speedometer transducer was reportedly replaced under current ownership.

The 5.3-liter V12 was factory rated at 262 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque. The seller tells us the fuel injector hoses and battery have been replaced since their 2021 acquisition. The fan belt was replaced in June 2022, the V-belt was replaced in August 2022, and the wiper motor cover was replaced in September 2025.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. The gear selector cable was replaced in April 2022.
