1982 Jaguar XJS HE V12
Smart, earlier HE model
showing 92,000 miles in lovely, restored order with good history file from 32
year ownership
Dating from March 1982 this smart
red XJS HE (High Efficiency) features Jag’s proven 5.3-litre V12 engine which
developed, in HE guise, 295bhp as a result of the ‘Fire ball’ combustion chamber
developed by Swiss engineer Michael May, which drove the rear wheels via 3-speed
automatic transmission.
Riding on its original 5-spoke 15-inch wheels,
this earlier HE car features an eye-catching gold pin stripe down its flanks and
contrasting (to the red coachwork) Doeskin interior with matching centre
console, wood veneer trim combined with black dash top, electric windows, heated
rear screen and period radio.
The car has evidently seen some
restorative work undertaken (undocumented), the car having been re-painted, the
wheels refurbished and the head-lining renewed and looks sharp as a result with
but a few minor cosmetics typical of the model to consider, as
pictured.
Showing c.92,000 miles supported by a good history file this
example shows just three previous owners on the V5C to the current of some
32 years, with a selection of invoices for routine maintenance and parts
including a selection of repairs to address the advisories on the last MOT. This
included replacement ball joint dust covers, new rear springs, new battery and
application of protective wax oil, a small service in November 2020 at
89,429 miles a further £414 spend in November 2019 at 70,909 miles on a
replacement door lock and PAS pipe replacement, 2 new tyres in October 2019,
major service inc. plugs and exhaust manifold gaskets in October 2018, steering
rack overhaul in September 2018, repair to the chassis section and replacement
cam cover gaskets in December 2017, transmission oil change in October 2017 plus
£1700 spent in November 2015 on corrosion repair to front cross member and 4x
new shock absorbers, springs and new oil cooler.
The maintenance invoices
on file continue and date back to 2011 along with 3 old MOTs plus the current
valid until Novermber 2022 with no advisories recorded.
An attractive,
earlier HE coupe ready to be enjoyed with low ownership from a long-term owner
and under 100,000 miles in an appealing colour
combination.
