Description
Current owner for 9 years; fortune spent including recent engine
rebuild and repaint; sensible mileage; nice interior; heated seats; cruise
control; electric soft top; ready to enjoy
First
registered in September 1989, this XJS V12 Convertible has been in the current
ownership since 2015 and we are told that it has had a fortune spent on it
during this time. This included a full engine overhaul about four years ago
which cost over £5,000 and a full repaint in the original Signal Red about five
years ago which was paid for by the insurance company following damage caused by
a hail storm.
We are further told that the car
did have a full service history with a stamped up book and many invoices but
sadly all these documents were lost fairly recently when the car was sent to a
garage for some service work. The garage then went bust and the car was
only retrieved with the assistance of the authorities, the missing
documents proving impossible to retrieve. We only have a copy of the inside page
of the V5C so the next owner will need to apply for a new one using the
requisite DVLA form and payment of a £25 fee.
Late
last year the car was treated to a £2,291 spend to address some MOT issues (see
last photo) and it now has an MOT until November 2024 with no advisories
recorded. The odometer shows 84,537 miles which we are assured is
correct.
As you can see in the photos, the
interior looks to be in great shape with striking two-tone black and red leather
sports seats which are both heated. It also has cruise control and an electric
soft top which functions as it should. The paintwork is also very good following
the recent repaint, although there are a few minor bodywork issues emerging here
and there, as pictured.
Starting promptly and
running well as we have moved it around on site, this pampered Big Cat is ready
to enjoy right away and could be improved still further with relatively little
effort.
