Vehicle History

Remarks

This desirable 4.0 Celebration Model, first registered in 1996. To it's first owner for one year and then registered to it's second and only other owner since 1997. The car has only covered 76,500 miles with all the original books showing a full service history including 15 stamps in book. There is a massive history file showing service's, other repairs and the car has recently had outer sills replaced with Photographic evidence. An abundance of Mot's is also present, paintwork is very good all round and the biscuit leather and wood is in lovely order. Reg No. N2 XJS. included is the sale. Being a celebration model with such low mileage and history, this must be a very sound investment, and such a lovely car to drive.
