SUMMARY

Owned by one family since 1996, a simply lovely XJ-S Celebration.

DESCRIPTION

  • The Celebration was the final iteration of Jaguar's XJ-S. Its unique specification included chromed rear view mirrors and headlight surrounds; Aerosport diamond-cut alloy wheels, steering wheel with wood sections top and bottom, a black handbrake lever with full leather cover, a leaping Jaguar embossed into the leather in the upper part of the seat backs, and contrasting piping around the seats and boot cover 
  • Our vendor acquired this Diamond Blue dealer demonstrator at around three months old 
  • He kept this lovely car for over 20 years, maintaining it fastidiously throughout.
  • It then passed to his son-in-law who treated it to a light refresh to return the car to top form
  • Regularly serviced with the most recent Jaguar service around two years ago
  • Good history file with all the relevant book packs, manuals, service records etc. 
  • With the value of high-quality XJ-S getting stronger, this is an excellent opportunity to acquire a fine example at a sensible guide

Viewing is highly recommended and vehicles will be available for viewing at the venue on Thursday 22nd and Friday 23rd September between 10am and 5pm, and then from 9am on Saturday 24th ahead of the auction which begins at 11am.
