"Beautiful body, paint, and interior. The engine, gearbox, and brakes are in excellent working condition. No significant remarks."

Description

This car was sold as new to a Swedish lady in the spring of 1989 when she and her husband were working in Los Angeles. After 11 years, they moved back home but kept the house and the car as a summer residence "over there". The car was only driven when they were there, otherwise, it was stored in the garage. In recent years, it was hardly driven at all, hence the low mileage, only 33,900 miles (5,700 Swedish miles). In 2022, it was sold due to age reasons to a Swedish car enthusiast who brought it to Sweden, registered it, and gave it a service.

The car is unusually charming as it is entirely original. The paint is untouched and without any damages. It is completely free from rust and looks new underneath. The interior is also in great condition. The engine compartment and trunk are as well. It's enjoyable to drive with a wonderful engine. A true classic to enjoy and have fun with.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    It starts immediately and is pleasant to drive. However, it may need a wheel alignment as it slightly veers off the road.

  • Interior condition

    The interior is intact and in good condition. It retains its original, stylish design with cargo space behind the seats (later versions included small seats here). The only remarks are a loose electric window switch and some wear on the trim strip on top of the driver's seat where the seatbelt comes in contact with the seat.

  • Exterior condition

    The body and paint are in excellent condition with no damages or remarks, but a polishing or paint treatment would further enhance its appearance. The undercarriage is in very good condition, with extra rust protection applied when it was new. There is a small puncture mark (repaired hole, 1 cm, hardly noticeable) on the side of the soft top (see picture).

  • General condition

    A very impressive overall impression. Remarkably low mileage that is guaranteed. The car is very well-preserved and maintained in its original condition. To further enhance the impression, we recommend polishing, replacing or repairing the electric window switch, and checking the front wheel alignment.

Facts about the model

Jaguar XJ-S is the sports car that Jaguar introduced to replace the E-type. It was produced from 1975 to 1996, and in 1988, it was introduced as a true convertible model (without the Targa bar), which significantly increased the model's popularity. Today, the car is a sought-after classic due to its fantastic engine, great road handling, and captivating design. Fresh convertible cars, however, are rare as these models were relatively affordable and, as a result, were used as everyday vehicles by many.
