Finished in Old English White with contrasting tan velour interior this particular XJ Coupe has only covered 49000 warranted miles from new and has been owned by three enthusiasts in its entire life, the first for 29 years. And it shows! The vendor informs us that the structure of this car is superb throughout ~ the car was subject to a windows out, chrome off repaint in 2009 which also included new windows and door rubbers all round. The car has a deep mirror finish throughout and looks superb.

The car is reported to fire immediately from cold, the auto choke works perfectly and the car soon settles to an even tickover. It is reported to drive beautifully with no nasty knocks or rattles, the transmission is reported to operate without fault changing up and down the through the ratios without any drama. The vendor informs us of a complete new rear suspension system whilst the front has also been completely overhauled.

All electrics and gauges are in good working order as is the condition of the walnut dash. The velour seating is nicely padded throughout and is complimented by excellent carpets and headlining. The car is reported to come with an amazingly detailed maintenance and repair history including most MOT certificates, letters from previous owners and a Jaguar Heritage Certificate. Sold with an MOT certificate till January 2015 and taxed till October 2014 this car is ready to be driven or displayed in equal measures.
