About this car

This 1989 XJS V12 Convertible spent 35 years with a single owner before changing hands in December 2024. It was ordered in May 1988 through Follett Jaguar on the Fulham Road in London, but delivery waited until September 1989 because of a full order book. The price new was £39,917.25.

The car has covered about 61,000 miles. Early on it toured the South of France, and it later made trips to Cannes and the 2013 Monaco Grand Prix. After the family grew, it became the second car, used mainly for weekends and shopping.

It is finished in Signal Red and has a 5.3-litre V12 with the three-speed GM-designed TH400 automatic. The history file is unusually full. It includes the original bill of sale, service booklet, brochures, MOT certificates from the car's third year onwards, and invoices and receipts.
