SUMMARY
Lovely, left-hand drive, pre-H.E. 5.3-litre V12 with one owner in Spain and one in the UK. On offer with No Reserve.
DESCRIPTION
- Finished in British Racing Green with a complementing tan leather interior
- This is the pre-H.E. V12 offering 300bhp, and was delivered new to Spain in left-hand drive where it had just one registered keeper
- The car has travelled a mere 97,700km or 60,700 miles
- We are told by its one and only UK-keeper that the V5C has been applied for and should be with us by the sale
- Some recommissioning works completed including an engine service, but the rear brakes need an overhaul
- Some history and old invoices etc. show that it has been maintained to a level
- Described as a solid example with such low ownership and mileage this is a worthy car to get back on the road. Offered with No Reserve.
- NB As of 12th of March the XJS is now UK registered with a V5 and the rear brakes are now fully functioning
