History
The second of the Jaguar XJ-S V12 convertibles in our sale today, this Solent Blue example has been religiously maintained with no fewer than 21 services in its 71,000 mile life to date – an average of one service every 3,300 miles! Needless to say it is said to drive beautifully with excellent road manners thanks to the fitment of a Harvey Bailey handling kit and Spax adjustable shocks all round.
Supplied new by Follett's of London, it was acquired by the current vendor in 2001, although he had also previously owned the car from 1997-98. Recently fitted with new Pirelli tyres all round, it comes with all its original handbooks, two sets of keys and all old MOTs back to 1998. With the exception of the cruise control which is currently inoperative, everything is said to work as it should including the air conditioning. The car is MOTd until August 2008 and taxed until December. The owner states that he will be very sad to see this car go as it has always proved a most faithful and enjoyable companion.
