The seller offers for sale this 1984 Jaguar XJS powered by a 5.3-litre V12 petrol engine and automatic transmission. This elegant example was purchased around ten years ago from California and has since been kept as part of a private collection in Lithuania. The body remains in good condition, showing only a minor paint blister on the roof. The engine starts easily, runs smoothly, and produces no smoke or unusual noises. The gearbox shifts as it should, and the car drives well with its characteristic V12 refinement.
Inside, the car features a tastefully reupholstered light brown leather interior, including seats and headliner, complemented by a Nardi wood steering wheel and upgraded sound system. The result is a comfortable and elegant cabin that retains its period-correct atmosphere. The car is equipped with factory power steering and four-wheel disc brakes, ensuring relaxed and confident driving. Always stored indoors, it has been carefully maintained and shows no visible rust.
Despite the lack of a valid technical inspection, the car runs and drives well.
The Jaguar XJS, introduced in 1975 as a grand touring successor to the E-Type, was powered by Jaguar’s legendary 5.3-litre V12 engine. Designed for effortless long-distance cruising, it combined performance with luxury, offering smooth acceleration and refined handling. Over the years, the XJS has gained appreciation for its distinctive styling and mechanical sophistication, becoming a true classic symbol of 1980s British elegance.
