Lot details

Registration No: H445 XUC
Chassis No: SAJJNADW3DB174341
MOT: March 2023

  • Recently recommissioned after more than a decade in dry storage
  • Just three former keepers and 74,000 recorded miles
  • Finished in the handsome combination of Westminster Blue with Magnolia leather and a Black soft-top

Launched in 1975, Jaguar's XJ-S was designed to seamlessly blur borders rather than blast down back roads and so came with automatic transmission as standard. Though, when fed the quoted 295bhp and 318lbft of torque developed by a post 1981 H.E. (high efficiency) 5.3 litre V12 engine, this still resulted in a claimed top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph in less than eight seconds. Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the long awaited full convertible version featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and sophisticated electric hood. Underpinned by the same all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and power assisted rack and pinion steering as its fixed head coupe siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard. Priced at some £40,000, a waiting list was quick to form.

Finished in the handsome combination of Westminster Blue with Magnolia leather upholstery and a Black hood, ‘H445 XUC’ has been dry stored for the last dozen years or so. Showing a modest 74,000 miles to its odometer, the Convertible has recently been recommissioned and is expected to possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale. Riding on correct-type lattice alloy wheels shod with Pirelli tyres, the Jaguar is accompanied by a V5C Registration Document (showing just three former keepers), handbook, jack and assorted paperwork.
