Jaguar XJS-C 5,3 V12 — 1985

• Zustand technisch

  Jaguar's V12 engine has sometimes had its share of preconceived notions, but when properly cared for and serviced, it generally works as expected with mechanical things. The owner has certainly never experienced any major issues during the nearly 35 years and 90,000 km he has driven the car. Today, it also runs flawlessly, with just a little hesitation when starting up after the winter on old fuel. Over the years, the car has been fitted with a stronger starter motor and has received regular maintenance, including oil changes, spark plugs, and various filters. There is a slight leak between the engine and the gearbox, and the car would benefit from a brake fluid change, along with replacing the brake fluid level sensor. A new one, not made of natural cork, is included.

• Zustand Interieur

  The leather interior has recently been refreshed with cleaning, conditioning, and re-dyeing where needed. Some wood trim details have also been replaced with new parts.
  
  An older alarm is installed and works if desired, but it’s not necessary to use it to lock the car. The air conditioning blows cold and works well.

• Zustand Exterieur

  The typical color for the area, white, is in good condition. The car was repainted in Riyadh after the purchase in 1989. A new soft top was sewn during the pandemic years, and it is therefore in very good condition. In the pictures, the front lip is slightly damaged, but it has now been reattached with the correct clips.

• Zustand gesamt

  Surprisingly good overall condition, a nice and fresh XJS that seems to be in excellent technical condition as well. It makes it even more enjoyable to drive with a Jaguar V12 engine in front of you.

General information about the condition of the vehicles .

• At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
• During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
