Jaguar XJS V12 HE Cabriolet

The XJS was launched in 1975, and whilst the fabulous V12 engine could deliver outstanding performance, its thirst for petrol was legendary. This promoted the first big change for the model, which was the new HE or High Efficiency engine in 1981. This combined with the much longer final drive, gave the XJS much better fuel economy, which was bearable. The Jaguar XJS offers its owners a slice of motoring history, defying critics to become one of the world's most successful GT cars. From the introduction of the HE engine in 1982, the 3.6 AJ6 engine in 1984, which expanded to four litres in 1989, the Cabriolet in 1985, the full Convertible in 1988 and the Face Lift model in 1993 to the final commemorative model in 1995, the XJS was continuously developed during its 20 year production life.The vendor states that this car has had 6 previous owners, but has been family owned since 1998 by the last 4. There is Service History from 1987 to 2001, then the car was put in storage until 2011, when it was recommissioned, MOT'd and Serviced. It was then put back into storage until 2016 when it was MOT'd again and then put back in storage until it was MOT'd again in 2017.The paintwork is good, with a few age related marks, and the car is very solid underneath. The Targa tops have recently been recovered, and also a new window stitched into the rear hood. The mileometer stopped working in 2011 but car has only covered a maximum of 100 miles since then.
