1988 Jaguar XJ-S 3.6 Automatic, Registration no. G627 XDU Chassis no. SAJJNAEC3CA166183
Odometer reading: 187,783
MoT expiry date: 09/11/2021
*Automatic transmission
*Re-commissioned after eight years in storage
*Wheels restored in November 2020
*Said to be rust-free
The V12-engined XJ-S's 150mph performance was not achieved without penalty, its prodigious thirst causing sales to nosedive as oil prices soared. However, the arrival of the High Efficiency V12 in 1981 and the introduction of a smaller six (the XJ-S was the first model to receive Jaguar's new and much more economical 3.6-litre AJ6 engine) enabled it to weather the storm.
Owned by the vendor since 1992, this 3.6-litre automatic transmission XJ-S is offered fresh from re-commissioning after eight years storage. Said to be rust-free, the car boasts nicely presented paintwork and exceptionally good headlining, while the alloy wheels were restored in November 2020. The XJ-S is vendor-rated as very good in almost all respects and is said to drive very well.
