Comments from the seller
Welcome to the 1988 Jaguar XJS 5.3. This car redefined luxury, and rewrote the book on what a GT car should be. This example is a stunning coupe that has been maintained in truly incredible condition. Finished in elegant cranberry paint over luxurious tan leather, it presents exactly as a classic Jaguar should. The V12 engine runs smoothly, delivering a refined and powerful driving experience. This XJS drives and handles beautifully, with all components functioning as they should. Overall, it is a gorgeous example of the model and is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner.
In addition to its exceptional condition, this Jaguar stands out with its timeless styling and unmistakable road presence. The interior shows remarkably little wear, showcasing how lovingly this car has been cared for. Whether you're cruising through town or taking it on longer weekend drives, it performs with confidence and comfort. Very few XJS models on the market today offer this level of originality and preservation. If you’re looking for a classic V12 grand tourer that turns heads and continues to appreciate in value, this is the one.
Please feel free to call if you have any questions, this is a remarkable example that will not stay on the market for long. Very few owners and a former Jaguar Owners Club Concourse winner.
