Offered here is an immaculate Jaguar XJS Celebration finished in Carnival Red Metallic with Magnolia leather, originally supplied by Riders of Falmouth, and one of the last delivered. The 'Celebration' was conceived to recognise the 60th year of the Jaguar Car Company and these special models could be recognized externally by their chromed side view mirrors and headlight border strip. Other features were the all-over wheel rims, steering wheel with wood sections top and bottom separated by leather on the sides and airbag, the wooden selector lever for the automatic transmission, the black handbrake lever with full leather cover, a Jaguar "leaper" embossed into the leather centered in the upper part of the seat backs, and contrasting piping around the seats and boot cover.
It's been enjoyed by three owners in total with the second owner purchasing this stunning coupe in 1997 at 5,800 miles, and subsequently parting with it some 18 years later in 2015 when the odometer was reading 53,000 miles. It has only covered 54,800 miles currently suggesting that its third owner has only used it lightly. The car's Service Record shows nine stamps at the correct intervals.
Very recent work included a service with a number of items being replaced. New front shock absorbers, top and bottom ball joints, anti-roll bar bushes and washers all being replaced. New front brakes discs and pads were fitted and the fluid flushed through. The original steel exhaust was removed and repaired before being painted and refitted and the underside was Waxoyl treated whilst it was off. Wheel bearings were replaced, the alloys professionally refurbished, and the Jaguar was treated to five new Pirelli Cinturatos. It comes complete with the original owner's book pack/manuals and the MoT is valid until August 2019.
This is a splendid example of one of the most stylish coupes of our generation with ride and refinement second to none.
