Jaguar XJS 5.3 V12

Shadow Automotive are proud to offer for sale this remarkable Jaguar XJS HE V12, an exceptionally low-mileage and beautifully preserved example showing just 13,744 miles from new. Supplied new by Exeter Garages in Devon on 23rd August 1988, it was purchased by its first owner and remained in his care for five years before the registered keeper was changed to his wife in 1993 — effectively a one-family car from new. In 2014, it was acquired by a discerning collector in South Africa, where it was stored professionally until its return to the UK this summer. In total, just three custodians and two registered keepers have cared for the car in its lifetime. Finished in Bordeaux Metallic with a Silver and Red coachline and the original 15-inch lattice alloy wheels fitted with Toyo Z radial tyres, this XJS presents in truly outstanding condition throughout. Inside, the cabin is trimmed in Doeskin leather over Barley carpets with Burr Walnut veneers, offering a beautifully preserved period interior that exudes 1980s Jaguar luxury. The condition throughout is extraordinary. The paintwork retains a deep, consistent gloss with no signs of fading or blemishes; the glass appears original and still bears its factory markings; the interior leather, wood, and switchgear remain in excellent order. The underside is equally impressive, showing only the lightest signs of age and having been treated with protective underseal for longevity. Documentation is extensive and includes the ori Alloy Wheels, Cruise Control, Electric Windows - Front, Leather Interior
