First registered 09.11.1990 by Minden Jaguar in Bury St Edmonds
Suffolk. This one of the later pre facelifted V12 cars and
arguably all the better for it, given they are thinning out in
numbers rapidly. Specified in the conservative combination of
Solent Blue, cream biscuit leather and Walnut veneer fascia.
This lovely old V12 has had only 4 previous owners, the first
owner 11.90-11.93, the second, 11.93 - 12.11, the third 12.11 to
08.20 and the most recent up until of late. The third barely
used the car at all as it formed part of a collection of other
vehicles, it retains quite a modest mileage given its thirty-
five years. The most recent owner was a friend of the third, due
to failing health he purchased the car in 2020 and spent a
decent amount of money on her, though again used very little. I
have just renewed the MOT which is current to January 2026.
Originality
The car has worn the same number its entire life, no number
changes. Retains her supplied dealer plates and incredibly even
the Minden Jaguar rear window decal.
All the glass is factory and etched with same number. All panels
are factory fitted and it’s never been recorded in any accident
with no other adverse history in her past.
Climbing aboard, it’s obvious it’s been dry stored, the leather
has never had any repairs or dying, equally all the wood is in
great order, note the standard factory fitted stereo.
The carpets are bone dry with no evidence of damp. The
headlining has been properly replaced recently and looks superb.
There are no annoying alarms or security devices, key in, go.
On that front, nice to see four Jag keys incredibly still
adorning the original
Minden Jag leather key fobs. The book pack is present with all
the original hard plastic cards, driver manuals, handbooks and a
service book detailing a 14-stamp service record.
All five tyres are the correct Pirellis with the full-size
spare. All tools are complete in carpet bag with the first aid
kit in attendance. In short, the whole kit & kaboodle, anyone
would struggle to find another more complete honest and wholly
complete example.
Upon test all electrics work, windows, mirrors, heaters etc, as
does the electric aerial, all dash bulbs, interior lights, even
the boot light. The Hella front fog lamps still wear the Jaguar
branded lens covers.
Condition
As mentioned, a significant sum has been spent of late (within
the last few hundred miles). As well as the MOT, all fluids have
been changed, and fresh filters, fuel filter also.
All spark plugs have been replaced and I replaced the battery
just last week. Looking underside its very tidy, with new shock
absorbers and springs fitted to the rear and new track rod ends
at the front. The interior is extremely well preserved, an area
where most of these drop the ball. Al glass, plastics, carpets,
leathers and wood are in remarkable order, with only some light
chaffing to the leading edge bolster of drivers seat back.
All lights & lenses sparkle, and the chrome is very good indeed
with next to no lifting.
Explore The Charm of Jaguars Iconic V12
The genre defining luxury grand tourer that requires no
introduction, a British GT of unique style and character, and
for those who adore them still one of the world’s greatest cars,
very few vehicles have a sense of arrival as Browns lane finest.
It’s not just style it oozes, compared to modern day GTs the
XJ-S ride is as comfortable as your favourite easy chair, almost
unequalled. The XJ-S is now a fixture on the classic scene
though finding a good one can take time, however if you stumble
upon it, grab it, and you’ll have an extraordinary machine that
will oblige you with long distance refinement
and silky performance. As should be evident from the many images
this is a well preserved original car with a very good story,
its also fantastic value for money as cannot see it ever being
worth less. The longest serving Jaguar of them all, still
serving.
